On the XP machine all dos 16 bit support was gone. I removed a spyware program called Winservad.exe. This is known to use illegal 16 bit instructions. Apparently the file autoexec.nt was removed. According to MS knowledge base 324767/nl, the cause is either config.nt, autoexec.nt, command.com which all should be in the in the windows/system32 directory. The notebook with Win ME has developed lots of other stability problems. So not being able to show graphics might have other causes. Any suggestions here are welcome, but it looks like I have to re-install an OS there. -- Femme
