| 184436 | 2003-10-18 08:08:00 | That program is usually run from a boot disk, which will mean it doesn't have any drivers or anything for accessing your printer. When you reboot your PC after the test has completed, have a look on the floopy and see if the tester saved a log file (it may have asked you if it wanted to do this) This log file should contain all the test results. |

| 184441 | 2003-10-18 10:34:00 | > so what else is it asking me? Don't know, I can't hear a thing? Does it want a coffee perhaps . If you are wondering what A:\> means, thats different . It means the computer is logged onto A: drive, currently not doing anything, would really like a sleep and is wondering why you have not taken the disk out, kissed it good night and held its little power switch in for a few seconds, or briefly, whichever it takes to turn it off . The above assumes it was booted from the disk . To be sure though, type exit and press Enter . If it does not understand, then do the above . If it does understand, its now back in Windows . Close it down normally . I thinjk it will be the former though . |
