Title: Boot up issues
Post by: dazook 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.
