Comment on Medion MD40734 XP SP2 SIS AGP fix by Paul Bryant

…and more thanks from me. I can confirm that SP3 has the same detrimental effect as SP2 - but this fix works just as well for that scenario.

I can also confirm that the drivers mentioned above were already on my machine, in the D:\DRIVER folder - obviously still there from my original factory install.

If only the Medion people would take a dispassionate look at the ’support’ section on their web-site. It’s hopeless - not a mention of what each download fixes, nor the symptoms that might indicate why you want each fix. Possibly the most self-serving, lip-service-only web-site I have seen for a long time.

Not even a forum, where useful user-oriented problems, views and fixes can be shared - always a sign of a supplier that doesn’t really want to support anything.

No wonder they sell these lap-tops through a toy-shop!

Shame really, at the time this MD40734 was a really good value machine - possibly only let down by it’s maximum screen resolution….and by the fact that the hardware clearly doesn’t work at all with a standard VGA driver - unforgiveable!

Like I said - big thanks for what is actually a real simple fix. You can’t imagine the hours I have wasted on this!

July 28th 2008

I have been trying for the past half hour to locate my e-mail page to see if
I have any new messages etc. I seem to be sent round and round to various ‘ lists of new technology etc ‘ but nowherre near the page I used to get. I found the above messages from others who had been having problems some while back and I can quite understand their attitude.
I don’t use this e-mail address very much but had been considering some changes - but not now !
I give up.

Hi all great information here and good thread to comment on.

Can I ask though - how did you get this picked up and into google news?

Very impressive that this blog is syndicated through Google and is it something that is just up to Google or you actively created?

Obviously this is a popular blog with great data so well done on your seo success..

Funny, I just ‘troubleshooted’ the same cause for the crashes!

Maybe a defective icon?

Trying to insert data into mysqldb. Only thing the plugin generates is “mysql invalid syntax” message.

Current syntax as follows:

USE databse_name;
INSERT INTO info_song (artist,title,album,year,genre,comment,bitrate,length)
VALUES (%artist%,%title%,%album%,%year%,%genre%,%comment%,%bitrate%,%length%);

Added and removed quotes, double quotes, split up into several brackets….no luck..
