Eric Auer, has been helping me through a bunch of problems with Free Dos some seem to have been caused by a download problem some came up when I loaded it almost successfully last night on to my GATEWAY SOLO 5051. I lost the color screen and the touchpad mouse, I don't know yet about the sound card, I am going to try that later as it lost the DVD Drive too, I loaded the driver, for the Atapi but it went after the last part of the install along with the color and the mouse. I did have the install prg blow out at one point, but I hit <Enter> and it kept on loading so I don't think that was it as all were working until the end of the install process after that happened. Otherwise the computer seems to be working fine. I really miss the 3.5" diskdrive right now though. I am going to try burning a different CD ROM with the programs I want and see if that helps at all. Thanks, for all the help Eric and everybody else, as I would right now be dead in the water, bow down and shipping water fast without all the help, -- Kirk Morrison KA4PXK Liberty Hill, SC USA
