Microsoft patches XP laptop freeze | |
|

Microsoft has issued a software patch that will reanimate frozen notebook PCs running Windows XP. The patch, according to Microsoft's Web site, resolves a problem affecting notebooks based on Intel's Pentium III processor and 440MX chipset and running the Windows XP operating system. The laptops appear to hang when their internal modem is put into use. Notebook users whose machines exhibit the problem can download the patch via Microsoft's Windows Update Web site. An update to the machine's BIOS (Basic Input Output System) software--special software that loads the operating system when you boot up your PC--may also be required on certain machines. | ||

| It is virtually impossible to test every possible computer configuration out there. There are always problems that crop up. Its just the nature of the beast. |
