Hi Rene,

I followed the advice of using the parameters no387 and nofxsr and works fine for the installation, but after it is installed and booting I receive the next error:

*)No coprocessor found and no math emulation present,

*)Giving up.

I fixed it doing this:

In the boot parameters I only removed the no387 parameter and it successfully boots. And to permanently fix it, I edited the menu.lst file and also removed the no387 parameter and BOOM! It works nicely :).

Hope this helps to anybody

Thank you for this solution.

I had the same problem with my MacBook Pro. Removing the battery solved the problem, but after a reboot the problem came back. After removing the battery AND power adapter the problem disappeared.

Had same issue with Acer Aspire 5672 Wmi.

Keyboard and Touchpad were disabled before login screen appeared. Only external mouse worked (on screen keyboard can be very useful).

Was able to boot a live Fedora Linux CD and all hardware worked fine so knew there was nothing hardware wise wrong.

The machine in question has very little battery life as it has almost always been connected to the mains.

Using dpclat.exe saw over 1000micro second latency. This dropped to sub 100 when I removed the battery and I got a driver error message. There after replacing the battery left me with low DPC rate but it slowly rose.

Not sure if a new battery would fix the issue but disabling ACPI works.

I had the same issue today with an Acer Travelmate 2312LMi_L. I solved the problem by disabling one of the two items under device manager / batteries: Battery that complies to the Microsoft ACPI standard (or something like that, it is a localized version of XP).

English required?

Zondag, de dag waarop ik mijn voortuin zou gaan betegelen met een mosaic aan natuursteen, maar de sneeuw gooide de plannen door de war.

Dus op zolder nog een beetje verder met wat beelden en vanavond verder met het bijwerken van mijn website en het scannen van een zooi dia's.

En zodoende kwam ik ook een aantal dia's tegen die Erwin en ik ooit gebruikt hebben om een soort diapresentatie van te maken die over jou ging en die we getoond hebben op oud-en-nieuw.

Geinig, en reden om eens te kijken of Rene op internet terug te vinden is en verhip, een blog. Is dit dé Rene?

Een verhaal over perl en microsoft en een foto van iemand met bergschoenen tijdens een wandeling. Ja, dat klinkt als Rene.

Leuk om te zien, als ik eens niets te doen heb, lees ik misschien nog wel eens een paar verhalen.

Het ga je goed!

Groetjes,

Fred.

Exact same problem as Jim above but with an Acer TravelMate 4060. Process Explorer told me that DPCs were hogging about 80% of my CPU. Removing the battery solved it. Keyboard and trackpad work perfectly now.

My battery is very old and barely holds a charge (always plugged in), so perhaps that's the cause. I successfully reinserted the battery without the CPU hogging. But the battery monitor showed it had 0% power left.

Thanks guys, for me it was the battery as well.

I took the battery out ehile powered by mains power and the system process (DPC's) dropped to basically 0.

and as such the cpu fan etc dropped down in noise etc. and I can use the pc again.

-strangest problem ive seen in my computing / support career, of 5-7 years.

If you keep that face, when you are back at the office, I'm sure everybody will run away... fast :-)
