The way I FINALLY found to fix this was to turn ON (not OFF, as my the Warp >>manual recommends) Video BIOS shadowing and 256Kb remap (old AMI BIOS) in my >>extended BIOS options.

Well I did try turning all those off and that didnt help. Anyway I changed the motherboard to a AMI bios and now there is no problem. I am curious though as to why rmview says that its a 486. the gamma version of warp with windows said that the award bios one was a 586, but it said it only once. Hmmmmm..... Would warp install differently if it knew that it was a pentium? And what differences are you talking about? -- -/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/- s9312643@minyos.xx.rmit.edu.au George Vlahoulis at Royal Melbourne Institute Of Technology, Melbourne Victoria Australia.
