Subject:	SCOUG-Help: Trap 0008

I updated the Dani driver. I reboot and got a trap 0008. I then moved the
video card back to the blue PCI-e slot, and so far, no more traps (they
have been intermittent).

But nothing else has changed.

With Warp 4, unicode is not being found on boot up.

With eCS, unicode (and internet) is fine, but the screen has a brown color
and the picture for eCS does not load. Also, I still am unable to open a
Dos or winos2 window.

The motherboard was in my Photoshop computer for two years. However, I had
a different video card -- a PCI Geforce 6200. It worked with my analog
monitor under WinXP and eComStation. It did not work with my analog
monitor under eComStation.

Before I made the transfer, I tried the Radeon X800 PCI Express X16 card,
and under OS/2 it recognized my digital monitor right out of the box. I
did not do any extensive testing with OS/2.

After the transfer to this computer, I don't remember any immediate
problems. I think it was after messing with the SCSI card that I began
having problems, but I can't be sure.

No, this is what supports the built in NIC using the NForce 4 chipset.

I will play with this for another day, but I have to have a reliable
computer by Monday. Hopefully, putting the old motherboard back in will
work, if I have to resort to that.

It would be nice to figure out the problem with this one. Thanks again for
the help.
