/W is for SHSUFDRV only. SHSURDRV uses XMS memory to install a RAM disk, which is far less critical than SHSUFDRV's file access. So the RAM-Disk is writeable by default (it would be pretty useless to let install SHSURDRV an - empty - RAM-Disk and then not be able to "fill" it somehow). I just tested SHSURDRV v1.11 (8 MB RAM-Disk) + ARACHNE v1.90 (core.exe dated 24.06.2006) + CTMOUSE v1.91 and did not get that error. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
