Now that I thought about it. I also had 98 on my computer along with 2000. the 98 I never could get running. For some reason the motherboard software wasn't cooperating. I guess I was right when I thought I was able to use msconfig in the Run box. It must have found msconfig.exe in the 98 folder. Anyway I did download the exe and it works fine. Never thought to copy it from my XP laptop. ">
