dude, I still say that the computer should go back, no matter what the trouble is, it shouldn't be, so back to the manufacturer with it!
as to the bgz switch,there is no online switch that I know of, to change it you would have to have a sign in on yahoo, go to yahoogroups.com, sign in, get your list of groups and go do it there.
but to sign your new address up just send a message with "subscribe", minus the quotes, in the subject line and nothing else to:

Okay, an update. First, I now know that the laptop is a Dell Studio 1555, 512mb v-card with 4gb ram. Today, though it was no warmer than it usually is, a BSOD flashed again. All my mom could read was something about a page error in a non-page area before the screen went blank and the machine re-booted. It again gave that cheery notice that booting into safe mode may let you recover some of your data, even though no data has been lost. My friend thinks it is a bios or driver problem. I have not yet gotten a look at the system log, but it was not too helpful yesterday so will likely not be again. Currently, the laptop is sitting on a desk with the newly installed Carbonite Backup program working to back up about 100gb, and has not had any problems. I wish I could know what program(s) were running/open when this happened. Would logs help here? Sorry for posting this to this list, but, again, I cannot figure out how to change my BGZ subscription to my new address.Have a great day, Alex New email address: mehgcap@xxxxxxxxx __________View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind
