As | the | OS never ran (needing the video for graphics) it never changed the IRQ and | otherr assignments. | In fact, as video cards are necessary in the gui, most cards/drivers will | NOT allow reassignments within Windows 9X and must be, as you found and I | failed to caution, be uninstalled, before setting PNP OS and ASSIGN IRQ | FOR | VIDEO CARD in the BIOS/CMOS, and reinstalled afterwards.

Some already have their own saved folders/info on my hard drive, thought I'd start one for you... promise I won't sell it for profit [what's that?] or turn it over to the Polizeien or Bundeskriminalamt grin. -- MEB _______________ |
