Why would you want to learn windoze? The user stuff is pretty trivial. The
non-user stuff is very untrivial because M$ does not like us to take a
look on their code.
AFTER FINALLY CONTACTING SOMEONE WHO USED TO DEAL WITH THE COMPANY KESTAL
COMMUNICATION WHO DISTRIBUTES THE CD I WAS ADVISED TO REMOVE THE CDROM AND
REBOOT AND LET THE COMPUTER REFIND IT. THIS DID NOT WORK.
DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHO I CAN GET IT TO WORK AGAIN.
Not the cdrom, the cdrom drive. Go to the control panel, select your Atapi
drive and remove it. Then reboot your computer and wait forever, perhaps
windoze will find the drive right away, else you have to run the hardware
wizard.
BTW: are you aware that this is a Linux list? Or did they give you the
impression that windoze was the only OS available? For problems bith
M$-stuff, you should contact billgates@microsoft.com. Then you will find
out why there is Linux too.
