I am truly stuck on a warp4 install for the first time. The machine is a: AMD K6 266 64MB ram Fujitsu 4.3GB IDE HDD Seagate IDE Travan tape drive AOpen ATX MB S3 Virge AGP card I have successfully updated the floppy discs. The problem is that the install hangs in disc2 with the 'please wait....' message. Initially it hung on disc1 on loading 'mouse.snp' but this was overcome by disabling hardware protection. Of course pressing Alt-F1 means that I can't press Alt-F2 so I can't see where the problem is. Any ideas?

In article <Eptizitgfvun-pn2-lEusy5mT9LSW@localhost>, ih8.spam@dont.try.it (Michael Block) says: >I have successfully updated the floppy discs. >The problem is that the install hangs in disc2 with the 'please >wait....' message. Initially it hung on disc1 on loading 'mouse.snp' The sonycd31 has been one the reasons, but in this case.. Osmo

Michael, the only unusual thing that I can see here is your IDE tape drive. Try to REM those drivers in the CONFIG.SYS that you don't need (eg. the SCSI driver stuff). If that doesn't help, disable busmastering on the IDE driver. If this doesn't help, you might want to remove the streamer for installation of Warp 4. You can still reinstall it afterwards. You mean you turned off hardware _de_tection? I don't know how you do it, but I would expect you would then need to select the drivers manually (ie. disable all unneeded drivers?!) Maybe you should try another mouse... Manfred Michael Block schrieb: > > I am truly stuck on a warp4 install for the first time.
