Yesterday, I had some kind of problem with the electric outlet that the computer and my phone is plugged into. Power stopped coming through it all of a sudden. Of course, that stopped the computeer and everything else plugged into the UPS unit. Then had a couple of flickers before it died totally (after the first interrupted the reboot), I had the power on the UBS turned off. Turned it on an hour or so later, but still no power.
The electrician came this morning. Naturally, the outlet had power, but he replaced it with a three prong outlet in case the problem was transient. I had the UPS turned on. Everything started, but eCS wouldn't boot after selecting it in Boot Manager. Nothing showed on screen but a blinking cursor - normally, the files loaded in the boot process display in order. I then tried to boot from the eCS 1.2 CD - no boot, either. - the eComStation 1.2 welcome screen appeared, which is the first thing that happens, and that was the end. So it isn't necessarily a problem with the eCS C: drive, but something as strange as not being able to print from Dos apps in eCS since I changed monitors to a widescreen (it's SNAP driver, and the Dos apps come up fine.)
Any ideas I can try to get eCS booting? I don't understand why a CD boot wouldn't work.
XP booted fine (took forever, but it always does.)
