Now, when I shutdown, before the desktop screen disappears it goes monochrome. It has always done that and is not a problem, it could go heliotrope for all I care, but I'm curious to know if that is a normal occurrence in XP. Treated the new box to a shiny new all singing, all dancing UPS as well, 650 VA, LCD display, USB connection for auto-program close and shutdown, on special at Rexel for just over $100 incl GST. That is only a little more that the price of two new batteries for my old APC 420. Usual price was around $250 incl. Small fish are sweet. :) The old one can keep the power up on my router and network switch (and my office VCR) during those momentary hiccups that drop clock settings or connections etc. Cheers Billy 8-{) Don't recall that thread zqwerty, but I did a lot of Tait RT service work in the late '60' early 70's when the Kapuni gasline project was in full swing. I stopped about 12 months or so after they introduced their first all solid state RT. Quality on their hybrid models was dodgy to say the least, but the new models were very good. Must have been your good work!! |
