Simply reset the printscreen vector to it's original value! First boot up without the 3Com drivers then you need two one or two line programs in a language of your choice (I used Turbo Pascal). Then find where the printscreen vector points to, use this value in the second program which will simply set the printscreen vector to point to where it should. Note that this is used in student labs with many types of software and we've encountered no problems at all with this. dale -- Dale Ross Maurice | dale@xanth.cs.odu.edu dale@cs.odu.edu Old Dominion University | dale@xanth.uucp [128.82.8.1]
