Another quirk needs to track the boot graphics device. For the boot graphics device you would export the system RAM at C000:0 instead of exporting it's ROM. This is because some laptops compress their video ROM or hide the video ROM in with the system ROM. This problem only impacts the boot video device other devices don't have this issue. ===== Jon Smirl jonsmirl@yahoo.com __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
