Also I have known systems to automatically go through the OS stages of
hardware replacement, 1 step at each boot

I.E.
Uninstall drivers
Remove hardware from startup recognition
Newly recognise the hardware
Drivers re-installed
Application recognises and uses 'newly' installed hardware

You got it backwards, JimB! I'm the (retired) engineer; he's a retired farmer!

Hmmm...you reminded me of another problem he has, with his USB printer. I deleted the printer from CP > Printers, disconnected the USB cable, rebooted and plugged the cable back in. Win98 did not recognize the printer. And when I tried to install via the HP installation CD, it refused -- "You're using USB? Let the computer recognize the printer!"

And suggestions?
