Stuart, I tried ME on the 100ct twice (as an upgrade to 98 both times) and on both occasions the install ran smoothly to the end. Trouble is, when it came time for the final restart it would bum out saying something like 'windows protection error - windows cannot start' or something along those lines. Very odd. By contrast, win2k installed flawlessly as an upgrade to 98 and worked like a charm (albeit a bit slow on that 64k machine) but its more stable that you'd ever imagine windows could be on a libretto.

I can still however hear a little voice urging me to give it one more go and try to get it running properly... If i can, i'll keep it on the 50ct provided its not bringing the machine to its knees... (especially since ME is out of the question) Thanks again for your help.

I do remember having similar problems sometime ago when my then desktop was running win2k and i was connecting to my win98 libretto over a direct cable connection.

Win2k on 50CT
Date: Thu, 14 Sep 2000 09:44:04 +0100 From: "Ian C. Melville" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Win2k on 50CT For those on the list who have installed win2k on their 50ct and lived to tell about it g could you please let me have your comments on my 2 main problems I recently installed win2k over a fresh win95 factory installation (from a disk image i kept) and everything went well. I then inserted my xircom 10base T ethernet card and it was installed without any intervention from me--i was impressed. Even more so when i was immediately able to access other computers on my network. However the problem i've been having is that the other systems cannot access the 50ct! Attempts to access the 50ct from other systems spawn a password prompt and regardless of what i type the password is always 'incorrect' despite my having no restrictions on disk access to the 50ct. Any pointers on what i may have overlooked? Also, my display is set to 16 colours (SVGA monitor) and i've found no way to fix this. Any tips on what should be done here? And finally, i didn't get chance to check the floppy disk drive (but did see a ? mark next to it in the device manager i believe). Are there any special drivers needed here also? Thanks for any help...

Re: newbie question
Date: Mon, 4 Sep 2000 15:25:51 +0100 From: "Ian C. Melville" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: newbie question Philip, I can't answer the first but i'll tackle your install question. The easiest way to install stuff is to connect the 50ct to an appropriate desktop or notebook using a special 'laplink-type' cable (belkin makes these for example). Its really a null modem cable and you can use the serial or parallel ports to hook up (a different cable is needed in each case). I suggest parallel because serial is so slw. You'll of course need the io adapter that ships with the 50ct. Then run windows' own direct cable connection on both systems (i'm assuming win9x on both). If you're not running win9x on the host then try using the old DOS Intersvr/Interlnk util instead and it should work perfectly... you can then use the desktop drives as network drives from the 50ct (the host drives will already be mapped by intersvr) and even your long filenames will be preserved across this connection. Generally a cable connection is not nearly as fast as a network connection using a NIC of 10 or 100mbits but it will get the job done whenever you have to install from CD or any other media that the host can read...
