I put the statement about no startup.cmd to let you know I hadn't simply
overlooked that item. Also, the comment about TCP/IP Startup was to let
you know I did see that and I knew it was a different program.

I should have been a bit more clear. What I was trying to ask was "what
are the catagories of clues are we looking for in those files".

I see this is one the clues - an interrupt conflict. (I hate to admit
it but I missed that one the first time I read the log. Don't hurt
yourself laughting now! ) So the task at hand is to find the
conflict cause.

This MB has a built-in NIC and has been working with the same driver I
used this time ever since I first installed eCS 1.0. Therefore, I know
this NIC and driver work. Digging a little deeper.

I did something that crashed the system (it wouldn't even boot any more)
and decided to install version 1.2R instead of fixing things with my
backup. When I did the 1.0 install I did an advanced install because I
didn't want multimedia. Now that I have a digital camcorder I decided
to do a "default" install of 1.2R so I could have the multimedia stuff.
I suspect that is the first place to look for the conflict. Do you
agree and what tool would be best for that task?
