Handy anyway for >the Libretto. >Im really getting into this machine now. Nah I've got a REAL CD-ROM drive and a REAL CD in there. I think its picking up on the fact that I"ve got a FULL Win98 CD and not the UPGRADE that its expecting. Perhaps its looking for drive signatures or something. >Speaking of hibernation, I put Win98 on to this 100CT here, and it doesnt >hibernate.

As I've found in my rant an email or so ago, I can either suspend or I can hibernate but I can't do both at the 'same time' (like you can on the L50 ... save HDD contents like hibernation but keep RAM powered like suspend for a set amount of time before cutting power ... within that time you can instantly restore, after that time or if power dies it can restore from hdd). The trick though is to first install the Win95 controls ... the one where you have to go "start>settings>control panel>add/remove>WINDOWS COMPONENTS>have disk" to install it (ya the Windows Components bit got me first time round) and that installs the monitor switcher and whatnot ... THEN you've got to download the Win98 power saver update and install THAT over the top the same way. If you don't install this or if you install it first then the 95 version, you'll end up with a pile of msgsrv32 errors when you try to resume. Oh ya, and you actually set what the panel close and power button do through Windows power management and NOT the hairy lightbulb. You also need to enable hibernation again in Windows power management. Dumb setup eh? - Raymond P.S. I STILL can't get ACPI installed (or at least if its installed it ain't telling me) but suspend and hibernation is working now (except for that both at the same time thingy) so I'll let that rest for now ... got to go to work to run Windows Update (I ain't updating through a 56k modem if I can do so through a 100Mbit backbone connection ;-) then ghost it before I do anything silly ... heh --- /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ | | "Does fuzzy logic tickle?" | | ___ | "My HDD has no reverse.
