Sounds positive. I've come across shutdown problems that were fixed by updating the Intel chipset drivers (after many hours of checking other...
I'm back. I had a look for Q312339 at MS, I could not find it. I did find 240075up.exe, the information says: Steve, I assure you, you do not...
You need to use the Chipset Update Utility I linked to in my reply #4. That will also update the USB drivers. If you still find that the USB...
Hi, Without going into to much detail (I'm a bit tired at the moment), I will take a leap and would say it was some sort of lock on the Boot...
Hi and welcome to the BBS, "Invalid command" I generally find happens when I have made small error like being in the wrong directory or making a...
