Are you using ver 1.21? I thought they fixed the com problem in that version. -- Later, Lyman -------- http://www.infi.net/~lymanv/index.htm

Steven, apologies, but NASCAR will only recognize int 3/4/5/7; I don't know if there's any way to get a PNP card under WIN-95 reconfigured, but you may be able to disable an on-board COM port (or switch the on-board interrupt), and configure the Supra card with a recognized interrupt. If you solve this, can you post a reply on how you did it? Charlie Heath

I've got the same situation, I bought the PnP modem, after all it is easier to install right? Well I emailed papyrus and they said I should change my hardware to accomadate their software. I hope in there future releases they overcome this problem. They felt such a high IRQ was very weird, well maybe it sounds like it might become more common as people purchase Win95 and PnP modems. IMO to change a perfectly good hardware setup for one piece of software seems to make PnP and the purchase of PnP products worthless. It should be easier to write the program to handle the different IRQ's then to have all would be PnP/Win95 users going back to the "old days" of installing hardware and moving stuff around to avoid conflicts. Why bother with PnP then???

The real question here is why bother with Windows 95 to begin with? John
