Change your monitor type to Plug-and-Play.

Check the IRQ assigned to your sound board, they often try to steal the Parallel interrupt as it is not needed for the printer, but maybe needed for your tape drive. Also set the parallel port to standard instead of ECP or EPP.

thanks for getting back,I pulled out sound card and managed to get tape drive going,also the green screen went as well.I have two scsi cards in as well and I am thinking I am running out off irqs.You would think that with all the stuff you can bang in pc,s they would give you some more.Can you get more irqs with bios flashing,or is it just as it is?
