    Boot up issues
    « on: June 08, 2011, 02:58:11 PM »
    HI all,

    I am having problems booting my laptop.

    It is a Packard Bell Easynote.  When i try to turn it on the  message "Line 7401 of the INF file \cmdcons\txtsetip.sif is invalid Setup cannot continue. Press any key to abort."

    I have tried to press F8 and boot in safe mode but the only thing that comes up is a black screen with a blue box with the title Boot Devices and options of Hard Disk, CD-ROM/DVD, Floppy Disk and LAN Boot.

    I am not very good with computers so if you can help please keep it in laymens terms...sorry. :-[

    Thanks in advance.

    Dazook.

    What is new or different since the last time everything worked properly (ie, new hw, new sw, virus, error, etc)?

      nothing noticible. I only every used it for web surfing and thats about it.

      I remeber it was constantly wanting to update its microsoft software.


      Just to clarify this first happened a few months ago but only just got round to trying to sort it.
