Micro$oft SLIME! I d/l'd IE4 and it filled up 100 megabytes left in my m$
partition. After recovering from that, now when I tell m$ to shut down
the computer, it hangs and requires power removal before I can get my
stinkpad back for useful work.
Does anybody know if the bios / video driver re-install will fix this?
