<< Our "lesson by fire" has been to remove all networking references from your config.sys/autoexec.bat/etc before trying to update, then do a custom install, let Win95 supply all the drivers, and you only have to insure that IPX and TCP protocols are bound to the card. The rest is automagic.>> This is a really good point. As a first cut at installing W95, rename CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT to something that W95 won't find/use (i.e. not ".DOS"), or move them (this is after you boot up the machine, of course). Then start 16-bit Windows if that's what you run, and run W95's SETUP. Let *it* figure out what hardware is in the box, and what drivers to use. Then, if necessary, copy selected got-to-have-real-mode-driver W95-doesn't-recognize-it lines back into the startup files. Steve Dirickson WestWin Consulting (360) 598-6111 [log in to unmask]
