I've recently installed 64MB more of RAM into my HP 8201 and am now having some problems with the system board extension for the PnP Bios. The main problem is the modem seems to die at random intervals and I get a code 10 error under the system extension properties. I figure its is a HP related thing and the only solution is to not run the extra RAM, the system seems fine other than that. If anyone has a suggestion let me know. Cheers G.

The installtion of windows (apparently) creates a little file called bios.vxd or something similar. If you reinstall soemthing, or use Ghost to copy a drive, it looks for this file and can't find it. I ran into this several times, and eventually made a copy from another machine, strangly, it worked. I have it on a floppy, and use it now and again. Now the bad news, there is no way on earth additional ram should be doing this. Your modem is the problem child. Delete the modem, and dial-up networking, and try re-installing everything, including your phone numbers. Thsi can be frustrating but keep at it.
