TheTIGuy Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 (edited) OK, so i bought an IBM Thinkpad x31 (With 1.6Ghz Pentium M, 512 RAM, and X3 docking bay) from PCLiqidations.com. Everything was fine at first, but after installing Windows XP, i removed InterNet Explorer and the battery died before it finished. A .dll needed to start explorer.exe was missing, so i had to reinstall, and afterward, if it was in the docking bay (with the UltraBay CD/DVD drive in) it would not boot unless in safe mode. Removing the drive lets it start and the rest of the bay works. IT ONLY HAPPENS IN XP, runs fine in 98, 98se, ME, 2k, Vista and 7.BUT I can't get more RAM (I'm broke, now I'm MORE broke)to run Windows 7 or Vista comfortably, and 2000 doesn't have a WI-FI manager and 3rd party WI-FI programs tend to suck (Memory and/or performance wise), so anyone know the issue and/or the fix? PS it will start with it in safe mode... very strange.... Edited August 27, 2017 by TheTIGuy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
