# ta,
i'll give that a try when i gets a copy of windows that is NOT an upgrade. its a favour for someone at work, and they did'nt want it formatting, but screw 'em, theres nothing on the laptop anyways

# what the problem could be
is that the new versions of windows are disabling or bypassing something specific to the laptop's proper operation... many older laptops use specialised versions of windows to ensure compatability with their hardware
