Thanks Cobber, These seem to be a good start; Managing Windows with WMI WMI and CIM Concepts and Terminology I was told win98 1st edition does not have WMI, this seems to be an inaccurate assumption. Contrary evidence seems to be that FE(1st edition) may have been a proof of concept testing system, as there are skeletal elements of the WMI architecture remaing. I tested acpi.sys from many os variations, and have found the xp version to be highly compatible & minimal errors ( no bsod or lockups ). My quest is to either remove WMI or to properly implement WMI, the latter being the more sensible approach. Thanks for the links, but i need more comprehensive information. "The Win32_Processor WMI class represents a device that can interpret a sequence of instructions on a computer running on a Windows operating system. On a multiprocessor computer, one instance of the Win32_Processor class exists for each processor." It is quite possible that this was not implemented in 98, and therefore some feature is causing a fault within the driver model ? Could someone please elaborate, if this is true ?

The video driver installed on your computer is shyte.(Reinstall last known working driver) -or- The video driver installed on your computer is not the correct driver.(Reinstall last known working driver) -or- Video hardware acceleration is turned on.(Turn off) -or- All of the above.(All of the above) "AS I SAID" I was guessing at the SB Card, yet my earlier post dealt with an ATI card.

OK OK OK, I wont repeat myself. 0x000019E "PCI/ISA Card" Device "0x0002" Now i had some time to thinkz, i would guess you have a Creative SoundBlaster Type Card. Get into safe mode and unistall it, remove its dependencies, restart, turn off, test test test Re-insert card , re-install driver. Open Regedit Navigate to HKLM/Software/Creative/DeviceInfo/PCI/Ven1102&DEV_0002 And a new string name MMX give it a value of 1. Reboot many times Test test test. Of course i would do this for all your cards (that is remove and test them) because the problem as stated earlier is a card/ card driver or screwed controller.

I guess there trying to cnc straight from the cad file which is only supported by the cad program itself @ x size, but not dos @ x size, How about converting the cad file to "G-Code", there are some good free converters out the, and the cad program will likely to export to DXF.

I did see somewhere @ AMD there is a 98 patch, somewhere

Ya Ya Nemesis give this link http://home.icequake.net/~nemesis/linuxlap...60/vftps133.exe Its' good to be back

Try googling for "VFTPS133.EXE" the read me says to install from dos, its roughly a floppy in size?

I looked in my repository and the file is corrupt (sorry). You are looking for the WD90C24 driver, it will be almost impossible to find. But i will ask around, because someone i know should have a backup (somewhere). The device was made by Western Digital. Yes they did actually make other things beside HDD's.

Awww! Just worked out you can click on the Pic to enlarge A quick search through my db of past and present fixes turns up; PCI: Ati FireGL Card/??? Network Card/Motorola SM56 Modem Internal. I dare say there is either a problem with the card or the driver or both or the pci controller. Hope you got some spares laying around. If it is the driver and you can't get to safe mode to uninstall and remove the .inf files. I would suggest going into dos and manually removing these references. Have Phun

Can you type out the 8 digtit hex code number please.

Hola, Long time veteran short time poster. I Currently have this System; Q8200 Asus P5K Mobo P35 2Gb DDR2 120Gb IDE I finally got "ACPI Multiprocessor Support" functioning after a day or two. And have had the Q8200 listed in dev manager off and on It seems the references to the cpu only reverts when any WMI calls are made. I would really like any Intel/Microsoft developer manuals explaining the intracisies of WMI from early adoption to present day. Alas i fear such materials are kept inhouse? I speculate that multicore is quite possible, though only by cueing cores. Which would be no different than single core functionality 'For now' Any good whitepapers on the WMI Architecture would be quite advantageous. That's my 2 cents worth

Thankyou All, I worked it out today Cheers Anyway Why? Cos im learning is why!

I am not ungrateful, but..... I did insist on using WHILE/WEND, i do appreciate your work! I am not seeking an answer that requires DO/LOOP WHILE. Is it possible, to display results, without entering HOURSWORKED for employee XXXXXX ?

Ok, here i go. My script asks for a employee id then asks for hours worked. While employee id does not equal XXXXXX , the script tallies employees and other calculation are performed. After entering XXXXXX, the script should not ask for hours worked . It should now display totals, it does, but only after entering hours for XXXXXX, which it should not. My guess is i have not put the INPUTS in the correct place. Any ideas anyone? PS I would like to use WHILE/WEND, I do not wish to learn DO/WHILE just yet.

I need this script to output, after entering XXXXXX , without asking for hours worked, i am unsure where i went wrong! Option Explicit Const strTitle = "Employee Pay Calculator" Const sngPAY_RATE = 25 Const sngTAX_RATE = 0.3 Dim strEmployeeID Dim sngHours Dim sngGrossPay Dim intTotalEmps Dim sngTotalGross Dim intTotalHours Dim sngPayrollTax intTotalEmps = 0 sngTotalGross = 0 intTotalHours = 0 strEmployeeID = (InputBox("Enter Employee ID", strTitle, "")) WHILE (strEmployeeID <> "XXXXXX") sngHours = (InputBox("Enter Hours worked", strTitle, "")) sngGrossPay = sngHours * sngPAY_RATE intTotalEmps = intTotalEmps + 1 intTotalHours = intTotalHours + sngHours sngTotalGross = sngTotalGross + sngGrosspay WEND sngPayrollTax = sngTotalGross * sngTAX_RATE MsgBox "Total Employees: " & intTotalEmps & vbCrlf &_ "Total Hours: " & sngTotalHours & vbCrlf & _ "Total Gross: " & FormatCurrency(sngTotalGross, 2) & vbCrlf & _ "Payroll Tax: " & FormatCurrency(sngPayrollTax, 2), vbInformation, strTitle
