Well, so far so good. I did a clean install, followed by DX9 and 53.04. None of the anomolies I saw before. After installing an NIC and doing the Windows Update I did a ghost of the drive to another HD and all seems well. Thanks for your guidance.

GCE, for the money the LiteOn series can't be beat. You get a solid drive, host of features, and Nero software. I recently replaced a Yamaha 24x10x40 drive w/ a LiteOn 48x24/48 drive and haven't looked back <g>. Check out the LiteOn 48x24x48 CDRW Model LTR-48246S Retail unit at...

cyberdyne, Win98 by default backs up your registry each time you start (I believe the number of backups is five, someone correct me if I'm wrong, please) via a program called scanregw. But, there's a simple two-step process you can do before you make any changes to your system, either hardware...
