Ok just couple of questions for now , whats your windows version ( you mentioned floppy disks which i didn't use since i stopped using windows 98 ) and how you installed it, and any detail you could say about the password screen , was it in the windows log in screen, and what kind of driver site were you on to redirect you. Thank you
