That's it!!! It's fixed. Rerunning SYSINSTX.COM C: on

the drive with it in its absolute location fixed the

problem. I thought I knew enough not to try something

like this but I guess I also thought that there were no

absolute references in the boot code. Everything works

fine now (save for a small Netscape issue to be asked in a

separate thread) and the video driver installed with no

problem. Thanks for the help and patience everyone.
