If you upgrade to 98SE, you should find that you gain a lot of compatibility. You will still need to find drivers but that's possible with many USB devices, like card readers. You should be able to find an SE upgrade CD at any computer fair for about the cost of a blank CD. m ----------------------------------------- Email sent from www.ntlworld.com Virus-checked using McAfee(R) Software Visit www.ntlworld.com/security for more information
