If you have Plug 'n Pray enabled in the BIOS, try to remove it.

Thank for the help.

I had a look at the BIOS settings, plug and play was not mentioned. Is parallel port anything to do with plug and play?

Burn a cd with knoppix and see what it gives..

I see people using quite the same laptop on linux with no problem.

Good luck
