These forums help a lot of people but congenital jerks have problems getting
help--get someone to draw and run a "serum moron/jerk" level on you. I bet
it's off the wall. You didn't get much help with the congenital disorder in
the parenting department either and it may well be way the hell too late.
Um do you mind pasting in the link and content for this source material?
2) "You apparently can't read either since my original post made this clear
enough for the technical expert peers that I work with daily out in the
real
world" ROFLMAO I bet your collegues would be delighted to hear your
mornic questions then. Why haven't you gotten off of that fat inert ass and
had them answer it? Why slum here with all the "no-help fake
know-it-alls"?
You're blowing smoke out your ass. People who consistently help here don't
have the need to post something. They could drool in the corner with
notepad and let their dog alternate keystrokes and mouse clicks.
I am surpried at your chutzpah though, with no substance to back it up.
You're lecturing about who should post and your phrasing of your question is
so stupidly inadequate that if I had an 6- year old kid who wrote as poorly
as you--I'd put the kid up for adoption because I'd reason that I had failed
after that long.
Production release Vista from MSFT in Redmond Washington isn't "claiming"
that it needs a particular Bios, and it's your job to get with Toshiba to
see what they might have going on. You're blaming MSFT in your original
goofey nebulous disjointed post for what is clearly a liv-m problem. Liv-m
needs to get help using his Toshiba Tecra for openers. Liv-m needs to get
remedial help on how to 'craft' a question.
Where the hell is your source for this garbage? Crazy liv typed:
"1. Vista RC1 required BIOS 1.7 to install, so I updated BIOS to 1.7.
2. Now production release Vista claims that it needs BIOS 1.7, but since 1.7
is already installed, obviously Vista is WRONG."
And LOL your source for this garbage is precisely where?
If you're talking about a Tecra Bios 1.7 situation, take it to a Tecra forum
and get your daddy or big brother to help you with the question:
http://forums.computers.toshiba-euro...threadID=18835
I can take that Toshiba PC and fire up Vista on it in less than a half hour.
If you want a response from Microsoft, lol why don't you write them. This
isn't a place where MSFT hangs out. Thousands of softies have MSDN and
Technet blogs that deal with hardware. All of them have contact links. Get
off your lazy ass and contact them.
Oh and you're definitely right about my problem with reading. I've bluffed
my way through life as an illiterate. Your ability to articulate is
dazzling though. One more child left behind in the US of A.
"We even had Beta2 running very smoothly on this same Tecra."
You need to
1) Stop poluting these threads.
2) Buy Vistah when you can after January 30.
3) Call someone like Best Buys in those cute little VWs--the people some of
us help all the time on chats to make a house call and hand them the Vista
you want on that box.
4) Or else could you not reach all those competent collegues you boasted of
in the real world?
"You apparently can't read either since my original post made this clear
enough for the technical expert peers that I work with daily out in the real
world."
Yep technical expert peers that you work with definitely ring the bell on
the "Wow factor." LOL They've done real well with whateverthehell is your
problem.
5) "Can this defect in the Vista Ultimate release version installer be
bypassed?" There is no defect in Vista Ultimate that's in your way--Get a
good neurlogical workup and then get the neurologist to refer you to a
shrink.
