| 24507 | 2001-11-14 09:29:00 | my win98 system has decided to lockup or crash every time I access the A Drive. It works perfectly well via DOS and in windows SAFE mode. Any thoughts on how to identify which driver is mucking things up please. |

| 24509 | 2001-11-15 08:30:00 | Thanks KO I have already tried that including removing the device driver (controller) plus removing the actual A drive from the computer, swapping it for another one, and also booting the computer without an A drive. That certainly removed the controller (which never has the exclamation mark beside it i.e. driver is said to be working properly and no conflicts) The moment I put the A drive back in (any A drive at that) the controller reappears on the device list and is functioning in theory but not in reality. |
