Frank your solution is excactly what I need since my bios will not allow me to disable ACPI. However, it look like ther is a step or two missing between steps 9 and 10. You say that I should specify a location but then you don't say what location to specify. Should I point the file open dialog at my win2k disk (which directory?)? If so, which directory? Also, it seems like even if I do this, then w2k will just pick the best driver. Don't I need to select 'Display a list of ...' at step 8? Anyway, thanks in advance.
