|    HELP! I'm locked out of XP because of ch    |
|    09 Jun 07 14:00:57    |
      From: blahblah@aol.com              Hello Everyone.       I sure hope someone can help me. I purchased an old DELL       Optiplex running XP. When I first got the machine, I went into bios       and disabled the chasis intrusion detection and saved cmos. I was up       and running great. Well it appears the cmos battery went dead and the       bios defaults kicked in and the chasis intrusion was set to detect.       Now, XP will only get to a point and stop.        I remember having this problem a long time ago and having to       use a diskette to reset something. Once done, XP would boot up fine.       I don't remember what was needed, so now I'm stuck.              I have an old Dell GX-1              Since I have been using this machine, I have a lot of stuff on       there I need to get to. If anyone can give me any help in fixing       this, I'd GREATLY appreciate it!              I went into the setup, but didn't find any IOAPIC settings. My       machine is a GX-1.              Thanks              Lightning Notes              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
