[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 7482"] EvilDreamer: I did not actually expect to get anywhere :-) It is just frustrating as h**l to have MS say that its IBM's problem and then have IBM say "'we can't fix that, its a MS problem". Well, I knew IBM couldn't fix it before I called but as I explained to the 2nd level tech 'someone needs to take responsibility for this kind of problem'. But I knew it would do any good. Anyway I put the problem up on MS's Forums but they've been down every time I checked for the past two days --- maybe my problem was the last straw :-) Now I have another opportunity, it looks like my Radeon AGP card and the K7VTA2 MB are not compatible --- it won't even boot with the card inserted. Now I have to get another AGP card. I've put in a plain jane PCI VGA (non-DirectX) while I configure software, but needless to say MP and DirectX chokes on that card so I can't even test my MP setup.
