Irreverent? Irreverent?? SLAP! No! Bad spell check.

IRRELEVANT.

Geez. I guess it is a beer night. Oh, by the way, I kinda blew off that
server thing for the last couple hours. I was writin' a story for October.
Hey! That reminds me, Steve has a mini ATA adapter. Hmmm... y'all just might
get that October 2002 VEE Ghost Windows with the "In The Graveyard"
attachment that never went out. Due to the bogus hard drive. That was
replaced by Bill.

Oh man. Irrelevant.

> I did exactly as you suggested with no joy.

Bummer Phil. I'm really sorry nobody's suggestions are working out.

> Even though I am very curious about this problem

Yeah, I'm pretty sure we all are! Why is the VXE trying to use the wrong
software? Hmmm, there was a vee.io discussion yesterday in Schaumburg...

You're right though. Troubleshooting to find out what the problem really is
could take forever. I just got back from one of these. It's been ongoing for
some 10 months now. Printing sometimes reboots the computer. What? Turns out
the MoBo manf (Intel) now says, "oops, sorry. Chipset driver. Here, load
this". We'll see...

> I am thinking it just may be easier just to upgrade the OS to XP.

Things to watch for: an upgrade will retain the same pathing info unless you
explicitly elect to install a fresh copy in a new WINDOWS directory (as
opposed to WINNT). Also, an upgrade will retain much of the same registry
info (unless fresh install). If this is a registry thing an upgrade might
not cure it.

General Opinion: I've never really been a fan of upgrading. Back in the 3.1
days reinstalling Windows used to solve most config problems (see if you can
find U'NI-net DOS-TIPS or WINDOWS somewhere from the early 90s). These days
I find more and more that it takes a wipe & clean install.

> Has anyone got any other ideas?

I'm tapped out. If it aint and I/O Libs thing then I'm lost.

definitely off topic, is here:
