Two graphics cards off ebay. The Geforce works perfectly and seems to recognise the drivers from the old dead Geforce (that was why I got it).

The Rage is as yet untested as as it does not seem to share any of the Rage drivers I have on disc. The card is the Expert2000Pro, so I'm off to google the drivers soon.

The mouse pointer was more fun. After about half an hour puching buttons at random I doscovered how to navigate off the keyboard and removed themouse. No joy. ME could not open vmouse.vxd.

Off to the 98 machine. Discover vmouse isn't really called that but is VMM32.vxd. Put it on a floppy. Unable to find a way to navigate to address the floppy to update driver, so settle for using msmouse.vxd instead, and it seems to be fine.

Next step, run a long CAT5 cable upstairs and put a machine (possibly this one) upstairs. I've never used a CAT5 crimper before. SInce that machine will be accessible to any guest int he house, I'm going to have to put passwords on allthe files I want to share between the office machines to protect them from the guest machine, snarl. Time to start devising new memorable but unguessable identities and passwords, ho hum.
