Microsoft Croaks GASP!

Microsoft Updates failed. :fart

Now Microsoft tells me instead of doing a complete re install I am able to PURCHASE a WGA kit for $199.oo :wave

Did somebody say Money Grab!!! (or) Pish.

This time I will completely format my HDD, then load Only Ubuntu Feisty Fawn 7.04:major

I would like to get my PC running to my satisfaction before Christmas. :cry:tas

Is your laptop on this page?

I'm using Ubuntu Feisty on my laptop, after a few months each of both Dapper and Edgy, and I have had sound since day one. Not very good, granted, that took some trial and error, but it plays my music and YouTube favorites, not to mention my games.

Most likely the driver for your soundcard/chipset wasn't on the Ubuntu CD, and you need to manually install that. The Ubuntu forum community is very friendly and helpful, if you need more details on which driver to use and where to find it.

 

??????? That last post was not entirely mine!

Not Funny !!

 

Looks like your user ID?!

 

Mimsy,
Thank you I will take a look.

 

Adrynalyne,
I can not explain it.
I can only say I did not write the entire thread.
I have no idea what the acronym means.

 

Can it be remote?
No one in my home touches my laptop.
Unless my three year old is a genius, I wish!

 

Well, its as MA said then. Someone has control of your machine. Either physically, or remotely.

The edits didn't come from our end, as the post would have said edited by....

Adrynalyne,

Thanks, my laptop has been completely formated twice since the post in question.

Lucky for me I back up regularly. (my data)

All you can do is laugh and move on.

Mimsy,

I was unable to find any reference to my exact model ( PSPA3C-MA202C )
I don't know if it has to match exactly?
I updated my BIOs from v2.4 to v3.80 it made no difference.
I have tried all the sugestions except one, I will try again after Thanksgiving in Canada.

Major Attitude,

Thanks

 

Neither do I, unfortunately. If you had a Compaq Evo N410c I could probably give you specifics, but my knowledge of laptop drivers is limited to that one. So rather than speculate wildly and get you into serious trouble, I'll just back away for now.

Good luck!

 

Halo,
Sorry for the delay I have been unable till now to open this thread.
I used an unsecured public wireless access point once with my laptop.
I believe I may have been dupped into clicking a convincing looking link.
