Thanks David

I tried the name you gave me, and it still didn't work. Now, the problem seems
to be with the memory. As I said, the card uses RAM for it's own memory, so I
assume that it can't recognise that. After I chose the ammount of RAM manualy,
it still didn't work. Now it's asking for the clockchip settings or something
like that. It's got a few options on the list, but I have no idea what to
choose. (I don't even know what that is to tell you honestly)
That's about as far as I got. If there's anyone else that's familiar with the
problem, please contact me !
P.S. What are HP comuters?  :-)                         thanks !
