Actually I am suffering from
"bootstrap problem" but an even worse
problem has arisen.
My MP wouldn't turn on last night. Thinking the
batteries were dead, I plugged
in the adapter--- but it was the wrong adapter!
I plugged the adapter for my scanner into my
Newt. I've heard you can easily fry an MP that
way.
I may have to buy another one. In the meantime,
I'm going to try the stuff for on the FAQs.
How do you get drivers into the MP?
Thanks,
Mike
