And if the BIOS sets it on something incompatible with Windows, I'm screwed and I can't do local debugging 'cause I don't have a modem anymore. I'm not sure I want to risk fiddling with windows devices again. It seems very fragile. Poor little ugly thing. Did I told you that it once removed its own drivers for "Main Board" and "Processor Support" from its own device list? It looks a little like this: Computer: "Windows has found new hardware" Me: "WHAT?" Computer: "Windows is attempting to find the drivers for the following hardware: - Main Board (Removed)" Me: "WHAT??? Hey somebody stole my mother board and I didn't notice, thanks!" Yeah. Right. Sure. I'm going to sleep now. Enough babble from me for a year. A,.
