I have been thinking about this problem and am wondering, HOW & WHY this
happens. What is the relationship of RH7 to RAM, how does it use it which can
stop it from booting and why did RH6 and Windows 98 1st continue to work? I'm
wondering if there is anybody on this list who can answer these questions for
me?
Thanks
Michael
