Hi all, Have tried a few things, but still no luck with getting the fan on my new 1100 to shut off while in Windows. I redid the ghost install, then did a clean win98 lite install, followed by a clean vanilla win98 install. I even navigated through Toshiba's Japanese site and got the latest 1100 bios (8.0) which also made no difference. I have tried both the toshiba utilities that came with the 1100, and various others, yet despite whatever settings I make, as soon as 98 boots (just before the GUI comes up), on goes the internal fan - and stays on, even after choosing the "shutdown, reboot in DOS mode" option. As expected though, it doesn't start just booting straight into a command prompt. It's not just the annoying noise - it'll be using up more power than it really needs to, and besides - my new toy is just not working right! I'm thinking of installing win2000, to see if that will help, but I don't really want to take the speed-hit, when there should be no problem with 98. I don't know - maybe the ACPI fan is receiving the instruction to turn on, but ignoring any instruction to turn off? (I suppose I could try booting into a command prompt and then heating and cooling the libretto to see what it does - but that's even further down my list of things I would like to do). Any ideas? thanks, Simon ************************************************************** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ - Archives -------TO UNSUBSCRIBE------- Reply to any of the list messages.
