Thanks for the reply. I was wondering if a driver for this laptop might help. as in the reply that I got to my post. I don't have any drivers for this laptop . I am just using the bootdisk and the windows 98 cd from my regular pc I just got a driver for my cd rom so I can boot from the c: drive so I don't have to use the floppy but that's it. I just got a new set of ram modules and installed them and made no difference so that only leaves the motherboard as strange as that may sound so I guess that's next
