>>It's just another TLA (which is also a self-defining term, because it's a TLA itself :). It's the OEM Service Release or whatever they call this service pack, date should be august 96 or later. In the tray you get a small popup, and the lowest row of the popup allows you to run desktop properties, which will probably include some pages for your card. You seem to have some wild and fancy animal of a card... but it should work. Works for my S3 card, and worked for any of the classy cards we have installed lately.

>Just thought I should point out that OSR2 is not an update that can be applied to an existing W95 install (at least not in the US, I don't know about Yugoslavia). It was only available as a complete install on a clean hard disk since it was intended for new computers only. Their was only one service pack released for W95, to upgrade beyond that you have to go to W98 which reportedly has problems with older hardware.

You're right - we install it as OEM on clean machines. Actually, it was sufficient to erase the registry to get it to accept the machine as "clean", which I did once and it worked.

Another time, when I was changing disks in my home machine, I actually hooked a new disk as slave, formatted it (fat32 on the bigger partition), copied everything, re-hooked the new disk as master and unhooked the old one, booted from a floppy and issued SYS C:. Reset, and it booted just fine.
