It's lovely, to be sure, but it doesn't let you open a command prompt. If you press it too early - like when the BIOS screen appears - you'll end up in their custom Windows Pre-Execution Enivronment. With the Lenovos, you have to be careful wit hF8. I started up in Safe Mode with Command Prompt, after pressing F8 before the Windows Splash screen. I looked all over the Daemon Tools forum and found dozens of folks having the same problem, but the support folks monitoring the forums were very unsympathetic and less than helpful.Īt this point, I was stuck in a BSOD loop, blue-screening after the desktop appeared. How can you ever trust the machine again? When your BRAND NEW MACHINE blue screens, it's like discovering your spouse is a spy with another life. In the middle of the install - bam - blue screen of death. I downloaded Daemon Tools, a great ISO mounter that I've used happily for years without so much as a peep of drama from it. I did VS2003, VS2005, etc.all from CD, but then I needed to mount an ISO. I started installing crap (they could drop an image on the machine, but I like things "just so"). I figured it was a sign to start over, so I got a Thinkpad T60p from our IT department. I even made a batch file to loop forever and repeatedly kill it. After having used it happily for a few years, suddenly WGATRAY.EXE decided to hang at 100% CPU forever, rendering the machine unusable. I recently had trouble with my work IBM Thinkpad T42.
