Sometimes when my comp goes on standby..... ......it freezes and it won't start up again so I have to put it off by the wall. Can anyone tell me what's up and what I can do abt it? It never used to do that.
mine often does that. its a right pain in the arse....but not too bad when it comes back on again after you turn it off at the wall....its a right pain when it wipes all ur harddrive and you have to pay 100 squid to get sum jerk to fix it agaun when he cant even find your files for you. hmm...is urs a packard bell by nechance?
two words, well actually a word and a number..... windows 98 It's crap, it's always been crap. (that includes win me)
I run 2 operating systems... Win xp for most things, and win me for anything that doesnt work with xp... tis the best way! N if mine fukks... i gotta fix it myself... seein as i built it myself :groovy:
There's a few programs that wont work no matter what ya do with em... But they will in WIN Me... so i put that on as well... :groovy:
What programs wont work with your XP ? You got XP home edition, professional or on the off chance a corporate version ?
Professional... Mostly DOS stuff (which i know isnt meant to work with it) but i can get most of it to work in ME. :groovy:
I run Windows 98 (which runs anything not supported by win2000) Windows 2000 professional (which in experience is stable as a rock compared to all other operating systems including windows 98, XP and especially ME) oh and i got Linux Unix but forget about them, they are to advanced and highly unsupported compared to windows but make a much stable operating system!!! Table of most often crashing operating systems in my experience (one being the one that crashes the most) 1. Win ME 2. Win 98 3. Win XP 4. Win 95 5. Win 2000 6. Linux 7. Unix
I wouldnt bother using stand-by, much safer to just shut it down when your done! Ive still got little old win98 tis shite imo. Considering moving over to an apple purely because the multimedia packages are superior and thats pretty much all I use my comp for!
U could try this but not sure if it's the same problem. Go into the bios and disable anything to do with power management ( I fix em for a living but i'm not very good.):spangled:
