BSOD
The old Sony Vaio that I had gotten from the thrift store won't run except in Safe Mode. I had hardly used it since I got it but yesterday and today I was playing around with the TV tuner and MS Access. Well, I tried to install SUPP622.EXE on the hard disk so I could use DOS with the Dvorak keyboard and right after that it quite being able to run in normal mode. I was able to remove SUPP622.EXE but that didn't rectify the problem. Don't know what the hang up is, of course. This machine has a weird BIOS so I don't know if I will be able to run Linux on it to make it useful. It only has a 266 Pentium on it so it's not a big deal.
