I
made a HUGE mistake....I let someone check her
Email on my IBMThinkpad, I am running windows
98. I have a IPN2120 card, and it worked FINE
yesterday. SOMEHOW she got into diagnostics...why she
did the next thing I don't know. SHE CHANGED MY
BIOS. I have no clue what to do. It recognizes
the software..and the hardware, but it is disabled
due to a code 29?? It says that the BIOS
isn't giving up an IRQ. I have no clue what
this means....then it tells me to contact the
manufacturor of my 'puter to get and update? Or
the manufacturor? Should I just reformat it? I am
UNPLUGGED..I am at the library on their comp, I
cannot get on with mine....

You can try to to resolve this error code 29
by enabling the device in the computer cmos
settings. Windows 98 cannot enable the IRQ serttings
in the CMOS .
The CMOS stores the settings that you make with
the BIOS configuration program.
If the system cannot start after a BIOS change
that means the CMOS might be corrupted.
try using BIOS and CMOS Configuration tools or
try using the BIOS Setup auto configure options.
