Re: [LIB] Memory LIB100CT
Date: Fri, 10 Jan 2003 08:19:51 + From: Matthew Hanson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [LIB] Memory LIB100CT Well, it now looks like my 32MB memory upgrade from ACDC Memory isn't defective after all. Any Windows Xperts in the house? I wrote Robert Jou and told him thanks for the offer to replace it, and explained what follows: Today I wanted to pop the memory back in and run the tests again, knowing how mutable systems can be. But before I replaced the memory, and with my original Win98SE HDD installed in the 100CT again, I decided to test the one thing that I can depend on crashing the system. That's the PCMCIA CF card reader/adapter. I put it in, then popped it out, and then inserting it again, locked the system up. On top of that, after rebooting via scandisk, popping the CF adapter out, and reinserting it locked up the system again! And again the next time. After using the PCMCIA utility in the system tray to stop the card 'manually' before ejecting it, the system recognized it fine the next time I put it in. So I popped it in and out a half dozen times stopping it with the PCMCIA utility each time, and had no freeze problems. Funny thing is that I could then ignore stopping it manually, and pop the card in and out a dozen times and not have the system freeze. The system behaved pretty much the same way with the memory upgrade installed for both my HDD with Win98, and the one with Win98SE loaded. This problem of freezing frequently with the CF adapter seems to be a problem somewhere in the dance between the 100CT, Windows, and the CF card. I don't have the problem with my 70CT. For the time being, I'm going to use a USB CF card reader which doesn't have the problem, and see how the system fares even if using USB consumes a third more transfer time than the PC card reader. After doing a lot of testing today, I'm now inclined to think that the problem is not with the memory upgrade. But I think I'll try to track down some software that may be able to ferret out the problem. Suggestions anyone? Matt PS: We can probably put www.acdcmemory.com in our list of sources for memory upgrades.

I pulled it out, and the system no longer freezes at all. The seller was Robert Jou, and runs his business online at www.acdcmemory.com. He seemed to be a very friendly and honest dealer, so I'm hoping he'll exchange the memory for me without any problems. This is the 2nd time in a few years I've gone for generic memory and have had problems.

Re: [LIB] Memory LIB100CT
Date: Fri, 10 Jan 2003 18:18:33 + From: Matthew Hanson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [LIB] Memory LIB100CT Hey John, From: John Musielewicz [EMAIL PROTECTED] I had it crash a couple time both on IE6 which is normal for me. It happens when I open too many windows. I think IE6 is a little too much for 64 meg of ram. I had it happen on the 70 with kingston memory too. Did you say you put XP on it? Or is that with W98 or W98SE? With Win98 on my L70 w/32MB RAM, I have the system set up so that it's relatively stable. At this point it may crash once every couple weeks of pretty heavy use... if that. But with the L100, the system crashes every day aat least once. And the biggest culprit is the CF reader as I wrote in my last note. I've been using it for a lot of file transfers recently. I wonder why the L100 is so sensitive to it and the L70 isn't. I'll keep using the USB CF reader and see how stable the L100 will be now.

Another thing might be the Windows system files itself. I've tested some W98SE systems that wouldn't recognize USB devices even though those devices work fine in other machines. Reinstalling W98SE always seems to do the trick fixing whatever problems there were. Anyways, let me know what you find out. Our lifetime warranty still applies on this memory module.
