To get the SIM card to work I had to reinstall the Wireless LAN Controller software/driver which detected the SIM in the slot and initialised it during installation. All worked fine after that. It maybe some what different for the Lenovo, but I reckon it will be similar. Michael Martin Australia "I controlled my laughter and simple said "No,I am very busy,so I can't write any code for you".

    I would ALWAYS go with installing Windows first.... back in the day, Windows always overwrote the MBR and therefore you couldn't boot to other OS's present in the system until you fixed what Windows broke. I believe they have since fixed that little annoyance, but I'd still trust Linux to know how to handle other coexistant operating systems better than Windows would.

    What's your problem? ...RH usually has rather straight forward settings for hooking up to a network... I've never really had issues with it.

    In some Dell models there is also the "F10" (If I'm not mistaken) key to access the recovery partition. But most times this is a question of timming with the Crt+F11 shortcut. here is a good guide for the multiple options of recover you might won't to try, and also pros and cons of each : http://forum.notebookreview.com/dell/453164-dell-system-recovery-guide.html#post5768224 Turn on the computer, at the "Dell" splash screen hold down CTRL and press F11. Let go of both keys. I think the trick is to hold CTRL just after you turn it on and then press F11 a few times... eventually you'll get it :) Hope this helps.

    That can happen for a number of reasons... 0. In newer versions of Windows, you have to tell Windows that you're in a trusted zone or else it blocks certain services. Make sure you've specified that you're in a home or work network as opposed to a public network. 1. Are you sure your wifi network can even access the rest of the network? In some places, the wifi is isolated so that you can't even access the rest of the network or placed in a different subnet so that there's virtual separation. 2. Make sure your adapter doesn't have NetBIOS turned off, not sure if this would cause that problem exactly but it should be on in a work network anyway. 3. Make sure your computer is on the same domain (should be if it works over the wire). What OS are you using anyway?

    cjb110 wrote: Is there a way of working out, why radia wants to reboot your pc for the fourth time? Contact their helpdesk, ask if there's a technical person who can list the updates. If one of those processes is "in use" on the client's PC, then it cannot be replaced (you can't replace a running executable) and will be replaced on the next boot, just before the login-screen appears. Hence the need for a (4th) reboot. Ask them if they could set up the patches so that the clients all update at the same time, preferably before office-hours. That would mean that all computers should be booted at that time, but that's when the most clients will not be using their apps, and it should limit the amount of reboots required during the day.

    If it's an OEM-version, then no - it would be bound to that region, including it's pricing. Otherwise, you could try and contact Microsoft support. Bastard Programmer from Hell :suss: if you can't read my code, try converting it here[^]
