Hi,

Let's try this again.

Let me see copies of:

\config.sys
\mmos2\mmpm2.ini

the output of:

rmview /IRQ
rmview /IO
rmview /DMA

the output of Veit's PCI sniffer (pcivk049d.zip or newer)

pci.exe -S
pci -P -T -B -D

Anything you can grab with the Thinkpad PS2 command line utility will be
useful too. What I do is run ps2 using tee to capture the output as I
type:

ps2 arg... | tee ps2.out

Replace arg with the ps2 commands. Use ? to get help. The items that are
most likely to be useful are:

PS2 ? AUdio
PS2 ? AUDIOCTRL
PS2 ? DEFAULT
PS2 ? DMA
PS2 ? IMODEM
PS2 ? MIDIport
PS2 ? PCIBUSPower
PS2 ? PCIIRQ

This part makes sense. You can't just REM out some of the drivers and not
expect side effects.

That's odd. Are you running it from the directory than contains
minstall.exe?

It's on the CD with the rest of the SB driver components. However, you
need to correctly uninstall the UNIAUD driver before installing another
driver. If needed, we can do this manually.

>Is there anything short of rerunning the Install program that I can try?

Yes.

This might be Dani's driver alerting you to a HD problem. It all depends
on when it happens.

At least. Let's move this to a separate thread and do the standard
networking drill with copies of:

\config.sys
\startup.cmd (if you have one)
\ibmcom\lantran.log
\ibmcom\protocol.ini
\ibmcom\macs\yournic.nif (yournic is the name of your nic's nif)
\ibmlan\ibmlan.ini (if you have LAN networking installed)
\mptn\bin\setup.cmd
\mptn\etc\dhcpcd.cfg
\mptn\etc\resolv*
