When my trusty reliable Thinkpad running Windows 2000 failed in a similar way, I tried to capture the error code by using a digital camera, attempting to snap a shot at the precise moment of the failure. But it flashed by too fast to catch -- digital camera latency is too great. So I whipped out my DV camcorder and zoomed in on the corner of the screen where the failure code flashes. While viewing the tape on a TV, I was able to freeze frame on the error code, which Google searches helped me diagnose. But you're right, you should be able to reformat everything and get back to working order without Redmond taking a DNA sample. /rich ------ End of Forwarded Message ------------------------------------- You are subscribed as interesting-people () lists elistx com To manage your subscription, go to http://v2.listbox.com/member/?listname=ip Archives at: http://www.interesting-people.org/archives/interesting-people/
