Dave, The trick for letting windows know where a driver is is to put the driver on a floppy disk (for the PC side, of course) and when Windows goes through the install and asks for the default driver, you can then load the driver when it requests you insert the driver disk in A:. However, that won't do you much good if windows can't install from a CGA screen. Again, I don't know if you can start the install in CGA mode. I would suggest that you might try running the install from CGA mode and see what happens, if you haven't already done so. If Windows will install, then when you get to the point of selecting a Windows driver select the one for CGA (if there is one). Of course that won't be the right one, but windows will have inserted the driver line in System.INI. When you exit you can then edit the System.INI file and replace the driver name with the path and name for the bridgeboard replacement driver, just as I told you to try with the mouse driver. I don't know if that will work, but ….
