Win2K Freezing on M700

Try the touble shooting page below, I do much with the compac's but know for a fact when running W2K on the HP laptops that we have to update the bios version and that it only works with 2000. If the user has to go back to NT or 98 for some reason, it has to be changed again back to the earlier version.

Good luck

I have 20+ M700's running Win2k and the only ones that had lockups were the ones that came pre-installed with 2k. The ones that were cleared down (fdisk) and reinstalled from scratch have been fine (apart from ejecting from the docking station whenthe laptop is on). I would suggest a sample run of clean installs NOT from the restore disk but from a OEM or retail disk preferably.

Hope this helps
