I don't know about you, but everyone else has had stacked up interrupts. No matter how many times you type [isa can't share interrupts], no one believes you. Most commonly, it's been the audio cards, since some of them auto-install to irq7, which the printer usually has. If you have two isa cards sharing one interrupt, that's your problem. > > > Burton > > --- > Brought to you by a 100% Micro$oft free system.
