Same problem still? Thanks again for your patience, Albert. Problem solved: the clone maker that I bought this system from didn't anticipate or care that I'd use MS-DOS, so I finally found a floppy provided with my Creative CD-ROM that provides for WIN 3.x or MS-DOS.

Funny how you can only choose restart and choose SAFE MODE, but not "Restart in MS=DOS mode... Now I shall do some performance tests...
