Besides my headache.

this should make you laugh.
 
 Had my laptop in the shop for a week...

I was scared ...

I cant make pagemaker 6.52 open on my "AMD Atholon 4 Pavilion XH535 with windows xp"
-the snake said that sold it to me said...

 You know I thought  :eek:  
Why not just put windows 2000 on it.
YEAH OK
NO Video Driver works correctly...
I tried and the SNAKE charmers at the local computer repair place tried for 2 days...

The support, for AMD, ADOBE, WINXP and the internet guru genie doesnt know the answer..
 
 Might I inquire... if anyone here might have this same or simliar problem?

 Dont go suggesting all this bogus stuff about fdisk been there, done it.
 
 Im just looking for an answer... or someone that needs a laptop

   Thanks

hmmm, i had a very similar problem with a laptop that came with winME.
i installed win98 on it and half the stuff wouldn't work, and the rest needed a lot of tinkering to get the drivers going properly. I installed win2000 on it, and i couldn't even open the control panels to install a driver to make the screen display more than 16 colours. installed winME again, worked almost too easily. Only 10 minutes of driver hopping and all works as well as it can with WinME.

Seriously, for odd hardware support, maybe you should try out one of the spanking new linux distributions, specifically red hat 7.2 or possibly mqndrake 8.2
they develop faster than windows, and may well support your laptop components. On the other hand, Linux is free, so try it, and if it doesn't work for you, you are no worse off...

Thank You, for your fast response,

I actually had thought about Linux, but I have only used linux for windows.. I liked it.
But at the time, didnt have time to learn as much as I felt I needed too.. (I was a virus farm then LOL)
I think the problem with this one, is the video display just a guess really, but the only one available is for WINXP .... tried win 2000 no go, cant do 98 or 95.. mmmm maybe I will try win 3.1 or better yet, a MACINTOSH..  i tried to brainwash it, on the win marque, it NOW reads, LOOK INTO MY MONTIOR... BREATH DEEP, BUY ME MORE SOFTWARE, SPEND YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY)

Where it USED TO BE I HAD CONTROL.. DOS, the "matrix of microsoft" has me in its expensive clutches

Totaly feedup!    Trying linux...
Thanks
