This machine has 384 MB of very expensive RAM, and all of it was used by Windows NT. > But if you swap the hardware with a replacement and it works, how do > you explain Windows being broken when that would suggest it was the > hardware that was broken? I don't recall ever swapping anything. I have no reason to believe that a hardware failure has occurred. > You never put it on another identical Vectra to prove it was > reproducible. Why does it have to be reproducible on another machine? It doesn't work on my machine, and that's sufficient. If you can tell me what all the error messages mean, then please do so. If you can't, you're just throwing darts. > The problem being asserted is that the hardware was tweaked. The > firmware microcode. No assertion is worthy of my time unless it is preceded by an explanation of the exact meaning of all the error messages I'm seeing. > Really? Windows XP must be broken. I can't install it on my Mac. Swap out the hardware and see if it goes away. See if you can reproduce the problem on another Mac. It's possible that Windows uses the hardware much more efficiently than the Mac OS X, and it doesn't run on your machine simply because you have a hardware failure that OS X couldn't detect. > Fine.

Did it ever work on Windows NT-based systems? All I recall is that it looked like a custom-written trigger for photosensitive epilepsy. -- Anthony _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
