Thank you very much for the response. It came about an hour too late though, as I managed to get another new PC working with the SB. I did have to change the IRQ in sbpci.ini to 7, but apart from that no problems have been seen so far. It was a real game of trial and error and in the end I used pieces from five different PCs to get this one working!! Why can it never be easy?!?

That said, I will try all of what you have said this week in the hope I can have a backup computer in the case I blow this one up ;-)

I'll let you know how I go.

p.s. does it make any difference that I am using Windows 98 in DOS mode, as opposed to pure DOS 6.xx?

tikbalang:

regarding applications/games, there is practically no difference between the two. i use dos 7.xx myself to take advantage of fat32 file system. dos 6.xx can only create and use 2gb partitions.
