I feel your pain. Despite your problems, I've still found this much easier to do than trying to do the same thing in Windows XP (HAL errors! ARG!) Nowadays, I view a new mobo as a fresh start, a time to clean my system from stale apps and garbage cluttering various directories. Of course, I'm not running a production system, either. Good job on getting your problem solved so quickly! -Mark C. _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [email protected] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
