refuse to turn off!.. The problem is with Windows, especially Windows98. It will happen to any PC although, as has been pointed out, some have the ability to pull the power regardless of what Windows is telling them to do. This feature can be good or bad depending on how and when it is invoked. Dell laptops will suspend when the lid is closed and that is probably good enough for airplane travel. TP

BIOS Basic Input Output System It's the ROMS or, in the case of flashable, EPROMS. You know when you press <del> or <esc> to get to setup on your machine as it boots up, that's BIOS. ROM stands for Read Only Memory and EPROM is Erasable Progamable Read Only Memory. That statement from whoever you got at Dell Tech is BULL. Call back and ask for a supervisor not some $5/hour tecno-fool. One of the senior techs will be able to help you. If you can't get there - go back to sales and start bitching. That always gets results. HJ
