I thought if I write an e-mail message stating various details, I *MIGHT* get an answer. I'm not being abusive at all, just don't like being avoided in solving a problem my patience have worn down. I was not aiming at anyone, just a general message, and this time I was somewhat answered/discovered. I work for a local software company and know how hard it is to write various programs, much less than an Operating System. It may be a great operating system, although not working for me on the system that I use. I write small applications for Windows 95/NT, and it takes great deal of time and effort to get it working properly. I do assist the users who use any of my programs (although these are specifically written for their needs). The only thing that I am attempting to do, is learn, use and gain knowledge of the operating system. If I *CAN* install this Operating System (OS), I will use it since I am wanting to move to a higher level of an OS. Its not a very popular OS as Windows 95/NT and finding someone with average to good knowledge is rare (at least for me right now). If I can get some help to install the OS, I will install it and use it, although currently it seems my battle is coming to an end, along with my frustrations. >Why don't you just call the people you ordered the cd from and get an >RMA?
