One more shot-in-the-dark: In the BIOS near "PnP OS: Yes/No" (Choose No, as others said) you'll see the line something like "Reset configuration (data)" Make it Yes, and exit from BIOS with "Save", then BIOS will be forced to reassign PnP/PCI resources for your hardware. This helped me a number of times. Oh, and when you boot off CD first time, you can select "Visual config". Delete here _everyting_ you are sure you don't need (or have). This will simplify device probing a little. HTH, Igor > > Best I can offer.
