You have mis-interpreted me! I agree, you are not a slime, and I am sorry if you thought I was referring to you. Please accept my public apology! I was referring to the micro$oft product, IE4. For that matter, we could extend the comment to darned near every m$ product that I have had the misfortune of dealing with. In spite of the fact that you thought I was flaming you, you have provided some helpful suggestions. A mark of a true netizen, I would say. Thanks for your suggestions re. bios and video drivers and the appropriate way to install m$ stuff. I have done the bios and will work on the video one of these days when I feel compelled to run windoze again. Ciao! davew -- dwiebold@etnsed.aus.etn.com . . . . . . This stinkpad is running Linux!
