Rich,
Thank you. You are correct in that Windows needs the Promise driver twice.
However, pressing ENTER multiple times does not allow the file to be
installed from the floppy (for the second time). There is no prompt to
change the location of where the driver is.
I worked around it (I think), by using an older XP install disk that had the
driver on it.
Now, I have another problem...
Thank you.
