Dell Inspiron 700m Lockup Fix
« on: January 12, 2005, 11:15:21 PM »
If you try to play paintball2 on a dell inspiron700m, it may lock up after a couple minutes of play.  It has the Intel(R) 82852/82855 GM/GME Graphics Conttroller.  I found that flashing the bios seems to have resolved the problem.

You can get the flash here:

Download 700m_A001_WIN_1-7.exe

It will run directly in windows (quite handy as the laptop doesn't have a floppy drive).
