Roger, You seem to be having more than your fair share of hardware/software conflicts! When I tried to install Soundblaster in my 486/33 the motherboard blew up! There is a QEMM386 command I used which seemed to solve some of my conflicts: EXCLUDE=C000-DFFF I think this prevents any software from using that memory area. Have you noticed how many threads are software/hardware conflicts, lately? It's almost reaching epidemic level and the frightening thing is, there's no easy answer! I've personally spent many unproductive, frustrating days trying to solve conflicts, usually whenever I install some new software or hardware. Such is the life of a desktop video hack!
