That's weird. I have a Diamond Viper 550 at home and an Intellimouse. I have no problems with Fox 5 or 6. Oh well. Just a note.

>>Yes , a Viper V550! You asked me not to tell you that:-). So I guess that wasn't related to your problem?

>I dumped both the Diamond and STB cards; I'm using the ATI All In Wonder Pro on my Win98 box at home, and the Matrox G200 in the NT boxes, and the problems seem to have gone away. The Diamond card in particular was uncooperative at best, and left some nasty droppings in the registry that had to be cleared out by hand before the Control Panel applet was usable with another card. I had some similar lockup problems with the STB card (in all fairness, the install wasn't 100% clean, following right on the heels of the Diamond card) and I switched to the ATI card from there, since both the Diamond and STB cards are based on the same chipset, and I have a whole lot of stuff in my 98 box that it might not be getting along with. The ATI card has been very good to date; the only real problem came when I installed WaveTop beta 2.0 (a data reception service that works in the background off cable broadcasts) which gave me some fits with my LAN. The problem was pretty clearly with WaveTop, so
>I switched to using ATI's TV display applet instead of Microsoft's Web TV, dropped WaveTop, and have had no problems since. The Matrox cards have been rock-sold from the start, but didn't have the extra toys I wanted (the ATI has video capture, TV in and out on the card, and decent acceleration for games; the Matrox is a little less 'feature rich').
