Really odd HP problem ...
Here's a quick summary:
System in question: Hewlett-Packard 667mhz, some RAM running WinME (yuck) blah blah....
Bad sectors on the hard drive ..... many! Replaced the drive and reloaded using the recovery CD. Loaded the standard AV items and such ... was running real nice actually for the old dude that it is!
All this was done in my shop here on a KVM... then turned it over to the customer and now the saga begins! ;-)
They take it home it gives them the WinMe loading screen ... pause ... then black screen asking ... display settings correct? ... pauses then shuts down. Not sure if that's the exact question but very close and you can't answer the question. It just shuts down ...
Had them bring it back here .... fires right up! No worries. Wrong.
Same thing when they get it home......
They can get it into safe mode ... they've removed the display adapter and monitor. Reboot and get the same thing....
Opinions? Thoughts? Ideas???? help... ;-)
I'm beginning to wonder if it's because my equipment was hooked up during the reload/recovery and because it's an HP thing. It wants the original equipment (mine), not theirs so is won't let them in.... ???
