Thanks Raymond - spot on, mission accomplished! For anyone else who does not use this feature but still has the driver in place, this is what I found: First, I timed the boot process - 31 seconds from hitting return after the BIOS password, to when my wallpaper hits the screen. I am indeed Win'98ing so next I ran msconfig and there it was right at the bottom when I scrolled down the contents of the config.sys tab. Unchecked it, and re-booted. Finally, checked my 'new' boot time twice - 28 seconds... :-) I guess it's also possible to see the effect on system resources, but I've not looked into this. So, thanks again Raymond - very much appreciated! > P.S. *fubar*libretto? Another Libretto legend? Subscribed as this so I'd have access via hotmail while living out of my backpack.
