>>Now that you mention it<g> It is a good idea to put NT and Win98 in separate directories. If you really mean directories, I have no comment. Or at least none I'm willing to make. If you mean partitions, that's not true. Separate directories are all you need. You might have to make a decision about where applications would install for apps that aren't aware they might be installed twice. PM is not one of these, however.

zp..you genius you:-) It is a good idea to put NT and Win98 in separate directories. I let nt0 go where it wanted to do. Actually I mis-spoke. nt0 is C:\winnt0 and w98 is C:\windows. So they are in separate directories. I was confused with the fact that the PM folder incloses both w98 and nt versions of PM. But the good news is I ran the updater again without changing a thing and.. bam... more congradulations..it worked. Maybe someting clicked while restarting w98..weird.. I must have run that updater 4 or 5 times last nite the same way (or so I'm telling myself<g> just a guess but worth a try...any other virus checker as well. More good news.. I turned off a virus alarm in BIOS... went to DI..opened it..and no blank dialog where it had been appearing as recently as over the weekend. 'Just a guess' my foot...that was an amazing call!! Why did you suspect the virus checker in mobo? If I may ask. BTW I also have Mcafee Virus scan running, which doesn't seem to be causing the problem. So i feel ok about leaving that mobo checker off. Thanks zp Clarence
