Win XP Pressario re install problems
After encountering many BSOD (and trying all possible remedies - new HD
checking RAM etc etc. I re installed Win XP Pro SP2. During install I had to use the F7 bypass - I don't recall having to do that before. However The unit seems a bit more reliable but one BIG problem... The OS doesn't appear to recognise the fact that it is a Laptop using batteries. Yes I did try the go into power and select APM but no luck. Any suggestions? Also I thought about updating the BIOS but all the versions I saw require the use of a floppy (nice one HP don't supply a floppy and require one to update) any suggestions for that? Thanks |

You mean you "installed" XP Pro. AFAIK, no Presario ever came with XP Pro.
Did you install the chipset drivers IMMEDIATELY after the OS before any other drivers? If not, I'd recommend doing that now. HH "John LaBella" wrote in message . ..
