Ok I haven't read the entire thread but are you saying that a new processor was incompatible with the sound drivers? I am not questioning I'm just surprised/intrigued. No, thats not what im saying. I think the CPU had nothing to do with anything at this point and the reason from the start must have …

Quake for example would crash when i had the CD in and the music was playing, but not when i didnt have the CD in. Also the VXD made me realize its a sound driver …

Wallace Silversmiths is a very good company. Me and my wife inherited alot of silverware and serving platers from her grandmother. And all the pieces are probably 70+ years old and still look like new. So odds are that mouse has a seriously high quality silver finish. I'd personally get it polished …

I have been playing through warcraft 2 and sometimes it will crash with this error. Sometimes other games will crash out too. Seems to only crash during playing windows games. DOS seems fine.
