Hi, I recently helped a friend get a G6-233 back on its feet by reformatting its hard drive and reinstalling Windows 98 SE. I then installed the V.90 upgrade (75022725v.exe) for its modem, a Telepath for Windows with X2, model 6000728. He dials in to a local university account to access the web...

I recently bought a MX7118 notebook and am having intermittent blue-screen-of-death crashes. The screen flashes too quickly to read the entire error message, but the log file indicates what happened.
