Out of curiosity, if you ever encounter that machine again, try uninstalling rather than disabling the wired portion of the system. Then try doing a "Scan for hardware changes" in the device manager. Both portions may become functional...
We have one Dell laptop that will appear to boot fine, then the screen goes blank. Nothing revives it. It will work in safe mode. Twice now (several months apart), I've uninstalled the display adaptor and re-booted. The system finds the drivers, and all is well (for several weeks, anyway). -------------------------------------- Richard McClary, Systems Administrator ASPCA Knowledge Management 1717 S Philo Rd, Ste 36, Urbana, IL 61802 217-337-9761 http://www.aspca.org "James Rankin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote on 01/18/2008 05:00:01 AM: > > I had a similar thing happen to a friend that I only got around by > disabling his network card.
