®®® Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 There is an DMI update available for almost every Laptop ever built by TOSHiBA. It will eliminate the W R O N G M A C H I N E message. Here's the thread which explains it plus download link http://forums.laptopvideo2go.com/index.php?showtopic=7011 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mapleleafs6768 Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 Much appreciated had a bit of a hard time creating the disc as i has winzip on my comp and it kept opening the .iso file , but after a few wrongly burned discs i learned a few things today, I will make sure to recommend this site to my friends :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
