cool thanks.

hah well you'll never guess what...! i bought this t42 2nd hand on ebay over a year ago with 1gb RAM. i've only now decided to upgrade it so after ordering the new 1gb i thought i'd check if my current 1gb was in the slot under the keyboard as i hoped or in the one underneath. so i unscrew the under...

doh ok thanks :\

went for this one in the end:
Corsair memory from rueducommerce.fr

bit more expensive but not too bad

k thanks for the quick reply

I'm thinking of upgrading my ageing battery to a 9-cell. Do you all still recommend getting an original Lenovo one rather than a BTI or EReplacements one? I've found an original Lenovo one for $109 here but am going to be placing an order at Newegg for some other stuff so would have liked to order t...

on a semi-related note...

can a t42 take a 320gb wd drive from a wd passport external (WD3200BEVT 320G 8M cache, SATA-2)?

edit - by that i mean taking the drive out of the enclosure and replacing the t42's internal hdd

mine's 1.37gb :o the last modified date is a few weeks ago when i burned the recovery cd. that folder has the recovery cd .iso inside. the biggest folder in there is "APPS" and has what looks like acrobat reader, norton and pc doctor inside. the last modified date on that one is 2007. hmmmm anyone e...

not working for me

Can I delete this folder? I'm pretty sure it's only been there since I burned the recovery CDs and now they're done so can I get rid of it entirely?

Thanks

thanks you were correct. i've uninstalled access connections and my network adaptor is found again after a reboot.

OK thanks, I may well get rid of Access Connections.
Any idea what I can do about my disappearing wireless adapter though? That's the most annoying right now.
And my shutdown/reboot times that have doubled?

Is it worth getting in touch with IBM support directly?

nobody?

now when i reboot, i get the new acc conn icon in the taskbar but the wireless card is still not recognised and the old icon still appears when i re-install the wireless card drivers.

OK thanks. I can indeed see the recovery partition in Administrative Tools.

When you say you use both R&R and Acronis, does that mean your backups take up twice the space? You have two seperate images?
What's the advantage of using both rather than only Acronis?

Thanks

I ran System Update yesterday (updated Flash Player Plugin, Flash Player Active X, Ultranav Utility, Ultranav Driver and Access Connections 4.52) I didn't reboot until today... When I shut the system down bttray.exe didn't close properly (I had to manually "end task"). It took longer than usual to s...

I've just tried my Access IBM for the first time in ages and same thing is happening.
Any ideas?

edit- T42 btw

Sorry I can't help but I have a similar problem with my 200+ cycle 6-cell. When it gets to 30mins remaining time, within a few minutes it's down to 5 minutes remaining time and then it dies :( I now know that when it says 35 minutes, I actually have 5 minutes to go but it's a little annoying still. ...

I need some advice please... I've yet to implement any kind of backup procedure and having had a few scares recently i think it's about time I did. I'm planning on buying a 2.5" external USB drive (probably the WD Passport 320GB). I want to create regular images of my 60GB drive in case the drive fa...

ok well it's not due to APS after all... it happened again a few times and it's usually preceded by my internet connection dying (wireless - access conenctions and windows taskbar icons still say it's connected and working but firefox/skype etc don't work) and a "the application failed to initialise...

i ran the short test in pc doctor and it passed everything. the error hasn't reappeared since i made the thread and turned off APS so i'm guessing that's what it was... hmmm weird i've also been having intermittent wifi problems since around the same time (internet suddenly stops working even though...

here's my current one

I've recently started getting occasional \$Mft delayed write errors and that's the only possible conclusion I've come to. I'd turned APS off when I got the laptop because it annoyed me and recently turned it back on just to see and it's the only link I can think of. Is it possible? The errors haven'...

i'd also be interested in something like this...
