A UMB provider allows you to load stuff high without using an EMM. There is a fairly good UMB provider called UMB_DRVR, which is available on Simtel. Be warned that the latter makes direct use of your computer's "cghipset", and not all chipsets are supported. -- Frederick J. Dickey Work: fr...@elvis.ds.boeing.com Home: f...@eskimo.com
