Subject: Re: Libretto Digest #1354
Just to let you know. I have a Libretto 50CT with 32mb ram, p75 @ 100mhz
running me just fine, Only problem I had was the floppy drive kept locking
up. I used the 110ct driver for that and now it is just fine. everything
works flawlessly. I can even run powerdvd and watch vcds on the thing. Yeah,
I know VCD sucks for quality..but on a 6.1 TFT screen it looks fairly well.
I have a 20gb ibm travelstar drive on the way. was using the 810 right at
this moment. I dont have hibernation enabled as I formated the drive on a
dekstop computer with an adapter. Hoewever I did do the os install on the
libretto. Took a while, but if you follow the same rules with the
desktop...such as disabling sys restore, run msconfig, and clean up all the
crap in start up.Most importantly uninstall Windows MediaPlayer (It blows)
WINAMP WINAMP WINAMP works fine:) When you install ME look here for some
options
http://www.theosfiles.com/os_windows/ospg_wme_secrets.htm#setup_switches
This will allow the OS to install on our little cherrished librettos. Enjoy.
Great to be a part of this libretto message board.
