Packard Bell websites/support/models?
Hello
I hope someone can help. I am in New Zealand and one of our stores sell a range of Packard Bell I-Media PC's, however I cannot find these *recent* models on any PB website, and their websites I have looked at seem to have not been updated in a few years. Sites looked at are both the NZ and Australian sites: NZ: http://www.packardbell.co.nz/start.asp?CID=9 Aust: http://www.packardbell.com.au/start.asp?CID=1 Currently I own an IBM computer and I found their website had good support, and was easy to download updated drivers when the need came about. How would you update PB drivers easily? I tried via the PB site, but that took me to a European site and couldn't find anything on these models at all. Any advice, reply to group or to me by email. The store where you can see these models is: (if links don't wrap correctly, please copy/paste into your browser) http://www.noelleeming.co.nz/webapp/...yDisplay?store Id=10001&catalogId=10001&categoryId=10175&crumb=10 005-10175&pageNo=1&orderBy =3&orderAscending=true Make sure "sort list by..." is set to "Brand: A to Z", then you'll need to go to Page 5 to see Packard Bell. The models I am referring to a Imedia M850 http://www.noelleeming.co.nz/webapp/...Display?storeI d=10001&catalogId=10001&productId=40209&crumb=1000 5-10175 Imedia M851 http://www.noelleeming.co.nz/webapp/...Display?storeI d=10001&catalogId=10001&productId=40213&crumb=1000 5-10175 Imedia M852 http://www.noelleeming.co.nz/webapp/...Display?storeI d=10001&catalogId=10001&productId=40217&crumb=1000 5-10175 Imedia M858 http://www.noelleeming.co.nz/webapp/...Display?storeI d=10001&catalogId=10001&productId=40609&crumb=1000 5-10175 I am also sending this to the "contact" address referred to on the NZ Packard Bell website incase they can also reply. Thanks to all, Aaron. |

I have checked the links to the NoelLeeming websites, and they don't seem to
work properly. Best to go the the following site, then in the search box just type packard bell: http://www.noelleeming.co.nz/ "Aaron Zarlos" wrote in message ... Hello I hope someone can help.

The models I am referring to are NOT on the UK site either. I have been there before. Maybe the PC's have a program installed that searches for updated drivers, etc? |

Maybe Ben or Metronid or some other kind soul can remember that program that PB used on their systems which did exactly that. Man you bring back memories :-) Elector |

Found it at Ray's Packard Bell site:

Similar to the system credentials information. It had the purpose of clicking it and the software and or hardware was updated or restored via these means. Sort of like the new IBM notebooks have that crash recovery button. Elector |

I think that tells you what is on your system and your system information like that electronic credentials. It may even be that icon I was thinking of that click it and it updates the system.
