If it's possible it would be in the computer's BIOS (hardware configuration)
settings. You would want it to ignore all errors at boot-up, or at least keyboard/mouse errors. Check your system guide or the manufacturer's Web site for details. -- Richard G.

Get a KVM switch so that you can switch the keyboard, mouse and video to the
backup machine while you boot it, then switch back to your other machine for normal running. This also simplifies regular maintenance such as defrag which can't be done across the network. -- Jeff Richards MS MVP W95/W98 "Liz & Ian" wrote in message ...
