Have you tried repairing the master boot record? Using a boot floppy from a win 9x machine, boot the pc from the floppy. Run the command "fdisk /mbr" less the quotes. This should get you a new mbr which hopefully will let you boot and make any repairs or backups that you need to do.

You may try killing each process one at a time and shutting down after. Once it shuts down properly then you have a better idea of which process is hanging. IMHO though you should upgrade to RedHat 8.0 as it seems to be very stable and many of the bugs I noticed in 7.3 are corrected.

If you have an old win98 boot disk try booting to that and then run "fdisk /mbr" without the quotes. This will refresh your master boot record. That may be the issue, my other thought was that you may need a bios update.

That will work fine. If you have a cd burner or a zip disk put the files on that and transfer them to the laptop that way. Then just run the sp3 update executable.

Sounds like there is a resource conflict between the sound card and your nic card. Check your device manager to see if the sound card and ethernet card are both on the same IRQ.

Sounds like you have caught a bad case of Windows. I would suggest two tablespoons of Linux per day with a sprinkle of Mozilla. :)

I would try booting into safe mode and reinstalling SP3.

I have never heard of that, maybe he thinks you don't really need the extra with the slower processor so he made up the "rule of thumb." It is true a faster processor can use more ram, as it does more work in the same amount of time. My opinion though is the more ram you have the...

As far as I know there is no generic account, only accounts that you have created. Passwords are case-sensitive which you probably know but I thought I would mention anyways.

Is your laptop setup to connect through a proxy server?

I believe the presets are accessible through the windows control panel.

You should reformat the partition that has the operating system on it that you wish to replace. You need not reformat any other partitions so which ever operating system you are dual booting with will still be intact.

Have you recently scanned for viruses with updated virus defintions?

Your best bet here is to fdisk the drive, delete partitions and repartition. Chances are the programs you have installed are not going to work if you try to install win2k this way anyways. The installation for those programs probably only copied over the files needed for win98, plus the path...

The error message is 'login failed' which is really puzzling me since I can su root from my user account and that works fine. I can also run startkde from the root's command line and that works.

I am running Red Hat 7.3 and I upgraded KDE 3.0 to KDE 3.0.2. I was logged in as root using Gnome when I did the upgrade. After restarting I get a Gnome login prompt instead of the KDE one I used to and I can not longer login as root with the KDE graphical user interface. I can login with my...

I am a retard for letting this slip my mind. In Mozilla click the 'help' tab and then select 'About Plug-ins'. Is there a listing for shockwave flash?
