More info?)
Hi,
Thanks for your quick reply. I actually found the correct link to talk to a
tech at Microsoft about SP2. There is indeed a hotfix which they sent to me.
I installed it and my system is now working 100%. All my SCSI drivers install
and run correctly. I too have spent many hours in front of a re-booting
machine trouble-shooting so I can appreciate how much work you've had to do
to work around your problem. Maybe this info could help you as well.
Thanks again,
Jer.
