presario 1700t Notebook
I am having a problem booting my 1700T running Windows ME. The system
flashes the Compaq and then the ME screen then goes into the boot menu: Normal, Bootlog, Safe Mode, Step-by-Step. Running Normal or Safe Mode only restarts the process with the same end result. Running Step-by-Step it runs fine until the msmouse.vxd file is loaded then it recycles. Despite changing the boot order in Set-Up to the CD-Rom drive first, it won't read the ME install disk. Any suggestions. |

What happens when you skip loading msmouse.vxd?

Same thing when I say No on msmouse.vxd
Occasionally the system will boot but then shuts down when working. It appears to be motion (movement of the notebook) that causes it. I guess it must be a hardware problem. Not surprising, this makes three for three for Compaq. "Tom Scales" wrote in message ... What happens when you skip loading msmouse.vxd? Tom "steamboat" wrote in message ...

Sounds like a similar problem I had with the same system (well, similar
system - 17xl262) - it turned out to be the motherboard. (Un?)fortunately I purchased an extended warranty for it and the mb was replaced free of charge within 3 days.
