It definitely supported it under the W98SE configuration. [The computer is only just over a year old - at the time, I chose to have W98SE installed in lieu of XP. So the overall specifications are actually quite good. I you like, it was an XP machine running W98SE.] How do I check the BIOS setting, if you still think that's necessary. -- Will Gortoa Running: OS W98SE/2.9GHZ processor/512Mb memory/40GB hard drive/Demon HomeOffice broadband through NAT router/Turnpike 6.05S mail-news reader [IMPORTANT!

Actually... One problem I know of... The replacement product key allowed me to install SP2, but I now get the same error if I try and use Windoze Update! Is it possible to do anything about that? : 7 -- Will Gortoa Running: OS W98SE/2.9GHZ processor/512Mb memory/40GB hard drive/Demon HomeOffice broadband through NAT router/Turnpike 6.05S mail-news reader [IMPORTANT!

[All things I've learned/use from hanging around in here over the years too. :)] >You may like SafeXP as well, >http://www.theorica.net/download.htm That looks like a nifty little program, I'll give it a try. [Particularly as those warning bubbles - somewhat ironically telling me I've turned off Windoze Update! % } - periodically pop up just to irritate!] Have you got any particularly strong opinions relative to the components that are referred to - I mean, some of them are obvious, but many sound quite technical and otherwise don't make a great deal of sense to the less initiated. -- Will Gortoa Running: OS W98SE/2.9GHZ processor/512Mb memory/40GB hard drive/Demon HomeOffice broadband through NAT router/Turnpike 6.05S mail-news reader [IMPORTANT!
