Hello Everyone, Lets see if this stays here so you can all read it...It Vanished last time.......
I am useing WinXP Pro, ABITKG7-Lite, Athlon TB 1200Mhz, 512Mbt DDRram, AMBIT NTL/Cable Modem USB/Ethernet 128Mbt(stand alone). I'll skip the rest......XP Pro is going very well after about 7 installs.
Useing the Ambit via USB at the moo cause NIC Ethernet Card wont work. I put in an Ethernet Card and my system would not recognise that it was there, took it out, put it back and my system crashed, restarted and stoped at the first screen with a "CMOS has Reset itself to its DEFAULTS, press F1 to continue or Delete to enter Bios. F1 would not work, Reset the Bios, kept doing same thing. Took it back to shop and then bought a different Nic card. Netgear FA311 that everyone says works best in XP. Well I kept haveing same Problem, Kept Reseting my Bios to its Defaults all the time. Any Ideas of what is wrong!!
If its a Bios Upgrade...Forget it...If I even try to do that it will never work again...This was a CLEAN Install of XP Pro and the NIC card was the last thing I put in. Everything else works -bar my Epson 740 software (printer gos Ok otherwise) OK I've stoped ambling on....Over to you nice Folks.....This Still is the BEST FORUM around. Have Learnt a lot since joining. Keep Up Good Work. Catch you Later. yours, Dennis
