| Guest | IRQ not less_or_equal I have a Gateway m series with vista home premium. When I shut down, I get a message saying the IRQ is not less-or_equal. I've tried cleaning the registry, and have no restore. Before I go to far, has this come up before? When this happens, the only option is to do a hard shutdown and vista doesn't like it. -- Plumb |

| Guest | Re: IRQ not less_or_equal That was my first thought, but she no longer has it. She did think maybe she had the old book to it, which would be a good start for me. -- Plumb "R. C.
