Thankx - I'll try it - My 7 year old got BSOD a few days after a memory upgrade (after which things were fine for days).
CDROM comes on line, but the keyboard, mouse and monitor do not attach. Something early in the boot. No fair - boot dragons are not supposed to surface while you are on a different machine battling an elusive driver compatability issue on a Chinese usb camera that has engaged too many cooks in the developer soup in a short time. The company's herky jerky development history told in nauseating detail in inf files. Thanks again,
