I have a Knoppix 3.7 CD-ROM, which runs ok, although slowly, on my Win 98 notebook. I just bought a new notebook with XP Home, and thought I'd see how Knoppix works on it. It started going through all the boot-up messages, but eventually it died. I have a wide-screen, and noticed the problem occurred when it was listing out some screen resolutions. None of them matched my 1200x800. Anyway, the computer is totally stuck. The CD stopped spinning, and it's still in the machine. I can't get it out or shut off the computer. The screen echoes back my keystrokes, but that's about it. It doesn't respond to anything else.

Is there any kind of magic keystroke or something I can use to bring my machine back to life. I'm wondering if I'm going to have to pry the CD out with a screwdriver!!

Thanks,
Steve
