To Alan & Brick – Voila! The last two suggestions solved all my problems (I've even stop losing hair – not). I used the S-VHS out from the board to the TV , using a 50 foot Monster Cable, and the view on the screen is EXCELLENT. And, I no longer require Windows to run PAR.EXE (which I had to do with PAR version 1.09). I no longer get the Integer Divide by Zero message that I got previously. In fact, I'm still able to use my old memory manager (Netroom 3.02), which I prefer because of all the base memory it frees up by loading video and bios high. Alan, I wanted to pass along the easy installation suggestion you had for me – 1. Rename the current PAR directory to something new, such as DPSPAR (the default is DPS_PAR) 2. Create a new directory with the same name as the directory that is currently indicated in your system's path statement (in my case it was DPS_PAR) 3. Copy the DPS_ALL file found on this forum to the new directory, and unzip it into that directory – an install.exe file and another zip file will appear. Delete the install.exe file, and unzip the remaining file 4. Restart your computer (CRITICAL) 5. When the system boots, the init software in your startup files should locate your PAR board and hard drive(s) 6. CAREFULLY review Brick Eksten's installation/beta release notes for what should occur (posted here) 7. If operation appears to be correct, you can delete the old directory when you feel comfortable doing so. If not, you can rename directories again to make the existing config info point to the old PAR software Brick/Alan – any other suggestions? Worked for me! thanks again, bob
