In other words, I get "page fault while in kernel mode" etc(the REAL error I want to look at) immediately followed by another fault that of course scrolls all the information from the first fault off the screen. So, should I _really_ worry about the second fault, or chaulk it up to the first fault making the system go nuts? -- Neal Rigney, PERnet Communications, (409)729-4638 neal@mail.pernet.net "I've seen better bandwidth between two gorillas with flash cards!"
