Virginia, This reminds me, if you have your Ethernet card in your Network properties, remove it from there and remove the card, then reboot.

Once windows is up and running, THEN install each card separately with its software, to hopefully get back to a stable system. Hopefully, windows will finally end up assigning each device to the correct IRQ and related system settings, and this nightmare I have been going through will finally end. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sometimes I have to reboot as many as half a dozen times before Windows will > load.
