exact problem, did you install Windows separately yourself or did you use the default install from Softwindows? The couple or three times I've used SW the initial install was somewhat broken and I had to reformat and reinstall the DOS emulated disk. Worked fine after that. Scott Holder

the battery, but it takes some work to do so. So, you can either risk injury for a quick but iffy fix, or go the safe route for a good battery that takes some work. If you decide to do the car battery or cap route and shoot your eye out, don't come crying to me ;) Scott Holder At 11:17 PM 4/18

actually not bad at all. I did, however, add a Voodoo3 which helps a ton with graphics. You obviously won't be able to do that with a Powerbook. I'd bet your Powerbook if it's at least 100mhz could match the power of at least a 486/66. Scott Holder -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com
