Dex: Great idea. But since I've had the computer tower exchanged by the local computer
guy, and although I'm very satisfied with the new set up, he did manage to defeat
the ability I had of getting into the BIOS before. Now I don't know how to get into
it. He told me to hold down the shift key as WIN98SE booted up and that would do
it; but it didn't. That's how one gets into Safe Mode.
Thanks for the tip. I'm going to try like hell right now getting into BIOS. I do
know that all sorts of things are in there and should be activated. You're right.
Sound somehow may be defeated and the downloads I installed may already have been
effective, but the BIOS is off. I'll let you and the forum know if that's the case.
But if you have any idea of how I can get into the BIOS while I'm fiddling around
here, I'd appreciate it too.
