I've never heard of problems with this kind of upgrade, but I really doubt that it will help you. Especially since you've already tried using the replacement drivers from SciTech, I think it's a pretty safe bet that this is a hardware/bus issue rather than something wrong in your software. > And second, a totally different question; > I posted my message at 15:26, next message is from > Shawn Hargreaves at 18:21, and in it its a (part of a) > message from Salvador Eduardo Tropea, which is a reply to > my question, but it is no longer in the thread... > Is my Netscape wrong? No, that's just the nature of usenet. It isn't by any means a reliable communications medium: posts frequently get missing, or propagate around the world in unpredictable ways. Depending on your location, it is quite common to see answers to a post, while the original message may not show up for a couple of days! If this is really bothering you, subscribe to the djgpp mailing list (there is info about this on http://www.delorie.com), which is automatically mirrored both to and from the usenet group, but works a lot more reliably. DJ also has archives to search or browse the messages on his site, which are a good way to locate any parts of a thread that you know to be missing... Shawn Hargreaves.
