Yes, I do this regularly to test out new display drivers for various hi-res graphics systems. The trick is to run setup separately for each desired configuration, giving each its own boot directory. Win.com, win200.bin, win200.ovl, winoldap.grb, and winoldap.mod must be unique for each display subsystem. Win.ini and autoload .drv files need not be unique, but must be present in each boot directory. All other windows apps, pifs, etc. can be kept in a neutral common directory if you need to save disk space. -Todd Stewart METHEUS ... the graphics company
