What, in particular, are settings in Control Panel i can adjust? Unfortunately, the
BIOS on the PCG-GRV550 has little options for me to set, do you have any in mind?
Both the Inspiron 600m and Sony came with XP, so it can't be any "proprietary" issue,
especially since i installed 98SE from scratch on the 600m with the retail CD. The
issue is only getting worse...pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL to restart, freezes the PCG-GRV550.....this
even happens in Safe Mode! I also installed the Intel Chipset drivers (v4.30.1006),
but that did NOTHING. What else can i do?
