O.K., I joined this forum back in May because of a boot up problem. It was caused by my not installing a 512 mb DRAM memory card properly (it wasn't fully seated). Unfortunantly, even with all the expertise in this forum, I resolved this by myself. I'm not in the computer business, I'm a Civil Engineer registered in 3 states. Sorry for my ignorance. My point was that the responce was crude and rude, and it was readily apparent that it was immature and from someone in the 25 yr. old range group. I've taken my punishment, this is my last post here.
