Fixed: Can only get desk top upon booting up - Page 41

DCiAdmin · 07-04-2009

Sadly, we still have not made it out in the RV ;( Although we do have a trip set for next weekend. We are *anxious* to go!

I would love to meet 1/2 way, but our RV is a 1987. Not sure about going that far with so old a vehicle and oh my gosh, the fuel expense!

Glad you are well!

btw, you can start with SP3 and not bother with the earlier ones. That will save you lots of time! From there take hot fixes.

Ha Ha,, I guess I am braver or dumber that you,, I had an OLD 1978 Pace Arrow that I took all the way to Washington state and then zig zagged all the way back through Oregon and nothern California (Redwoods), we spent about 10 days out there just taking our time. BUT,, the refrigerator went out the first day out and couldn't get another one for about 3 - 4 days so I stopped off at Wal-Mart and bought to two ice chest and put all of our food in them and continued on with out any further problems,, Gas prices yes, it was $2.38 to $2.89 on that trip and that was back in '05, (gas out here right now is $2.89 - $3.05) got rid of that one, sold it to my nieghbor and bought a '99 Fleetwood bounder with one slide out, very nice but it took a chunk out of my savings $38,000 but they wanted $47,900 - talking a lot and paying in cash sure helps,, lol

Oh my gosh! That is a chuck of shiny change! Outta my league, Rich!

Too funny about the fridge. We have had the RV out for only a fuel tank fill-up and a picnic. Brought it home and parked it - decided to try the fridge. Too bad the RV wasn't exactly level

We blew our fridge out that way. I'm about to replace it with a dorm sized electric fridge. I choked when I called the RV service center to ask the price of repair or replace - $900 - $1200! I could get one devil of a good fridge for the house for that price. LOL

Durn things!

Rich!

I've got Sir Trews creating your copy as I type. He will test the CD for "bootability" prior to mailing off to you. Whew......

Remember, I'm out on Friday for the weekend. I can catch up with you on Monday or will happily work with you before then if the CD gets there promptly.

Hope you are well!

EDIT: CD doesn't boot.....

ha ha join the fun of R.V'ing,, I paid $950 for a new on but you have to remember, they work on BOTH propane or 120 electric, some of the old ones like mine worked on what they call 3-way , the two mentioned above plus 12v D.C. which means it can operate while your going down the road off of your alternator or battery if you stop at a rest stop, all newer motor homes don't have it and remember,, NEVER have any appliance on, ie; Refrig, Stove or even your heater as it is a big big fire and safety hazzard and most states it is aganst the law to have propane turned on while travleing. The motor home I have now, '99 Fleetwood Bounder has only the two way and most all R.V.'s are that way now adays as they stay pretty cold while traveling as long as you don't keep opening the door to get drinks, snack and etc,, out. people that have kids usually keep a small ice checst handy for those items saving the cold for the fridg. You'll have fun I know you will. Also another tip,, ALWAYS keep the gas tannk FULL when you store it, it will eliminate a lot of condensation from forming in the tank. Keep a close eye on tire pressure at all times, checking them when they are cold.

Best tip I've had so far - came from my Aunt who has lived in one for 3 years

She said make sure to buy RV toilet paper and then explained why. I had planned on grabbing a couple of rolls of the Cottonelle

Yetch!
