I assume you deleted the old version of Windows first?

Sounds to me like your new software drivers have upset windows quite nicely.
Try getting another set of disks and try those. Also when installing windows
use a 'clean' config.sys i.e. one without items such as smartdrv.sys....

I'd also recommend the use of ordinary video if you can manage it, to start
with i.e. none of the wonderful extras Paradise provide. That also means
installing windows with standard vga drivers etc. Once you can get Windows
running normally I'd suggest duplicating your working copy and examine what
happens when you install the new drivers.

The other thing you wanna do is check out your system.ini file. You mention
ebios why?

As a matter of interest the line for ebios should be inder [386Enh] and be of
the form device=*ebios or device=hpebios.386, *ebios

Okay start with that and we'll try and get a bit further, good luck,
