Well this one has me really baffled! So what else is new?
I am trying to reinstall MS Client 3.0 on the STEP Megacube. I have successfully installed Client previously on this system. However, when I try to install it now it acts strangely. For one thing it no longer find drivers on the driver disk. It gives an error saying there are no drivers. I have tried installing from floppies, from the HDD, I've put the drivers on a floppy, on a HDD, etc. etc. w/ no luck. Interestingly enough when I copy the same files to a VM machine everything works fine.
I even tried installing the wrong adapter so I could switch it out afterwards but Client refuses to install saying it can't copy Stack.
I get the same results even w/ a clean boot of DOS 6.22. The only changes I have made to the system is upgrading the video card from one EISA card to another and invoking the BIOS on the CompatiCard IV. I've already tried disabling the BIOS on the CCIV and it made no difference. So before I open up the system can a video card do this? I know anything is possible but has anyone experienced this sort of misbehaving just because of a video card? Thanks.
