Hi, here is a slight problem for you guys to rack your brains over :-). Not exactly sure if I am posting this in the right area though so try and stay with me on this one. I am currently working on a pc that is running a Intel VC820 mobo with a p III 733 processor, radeon VE, ZOOM 56k modem. When I tried to install a Netgear NIC card. I shut the machine down and restarted it with the card in, it locked just as it came to the first screen after the windows loading screen (blue cloud image with moving blue and white bar on butom, it was after that screen but before the desktop. The mouse was there but no icons yet. When I tried ctrl-alt-del to see what it was doing, it showed two instances of the "cmdninst" program running. One of these had the (not responding) behind it. have tried different NICs and tried putzing with the bios to force ICQs and tried to change drivers. All of which had none effect. On another note when I tried to reinstall Win ME it was taking forever to install. I started the installation about 8 last night and it has finished while I was away at school but was done about 2:00 - 5:00 in the afternoon. Any help on fixing this situation would be greatly appreciated. :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:
