Cool. My task for the evening is to install an ASUS x8 DVD-ROM beside my CDRW and install Adaptec Easy CD 4.0 Deluxe. How many different ways can these tasks cock up? We'll see. Cheers ;)

If you are getting storage corruption (as opposed to other sorts) then it points to bios settings (or other conflicts) related to IDE or SCSI. This entire process is a process of elimination. The initial steps need not pin point the issue but they are repsonsible for eliminating as many of the...

The P3V4X is a VIA based board. I have a similar (but earlier) EPOX 6VBA board. I think the trick is using very conservative bios settings until w2k gets up far enough to load the latest 4in1 VIA chipset drivers. You need to get the latest set from ASUS or EPOX (they are stored with the 6VBA...

If reinstaling IE has not changed the behaviour... try reinstalling your networking layer too. what sort of network are you running? Cheers
