I think Mike hit the nail on the head there. OK, there are plenty of real problems with hardware configuration, but most problems occur because people don't follow the directions, or in pther words RTFM (don't let that put anyone off posting problems though - "RTFM" is one reply that isn't tolerated on this list!). People woh don't follw the directions (i.e. click on the first thing they see) also have problems installing Windows, or anything, for that matter. BTW, the reason Mdk didn't support the S3 card in 1999 was probably that virtually nothing did. Win95 doesn't support the S3Trio (though you can download drivers). It's a truly disguting piece of hardware. Robin
