Hi all. I just built my first dual boot system with W98/W2K Pro. System specs are:

1.0Ghz Athlon
Asus A7V133 Mainboard
30GB Maxtor HD
512 SDRAM PC133
ATI Expert 2000 Pro (Rage 128)
SB Live Value
Creative Modem Blaster DSI5655
D-Link NIC
Plextor 12/10/32 CDRW
Sony DVD with Sigma RealMagic Hollywood Plus decoder card (supplied by customer)

The Win98 side is fine except for decoder card - RealMagic site was down today and couldn't get the drivers.

On the W2K side I have a couple of small problems.
1 - When W2K is loading services I get a "Warning" message " Failed to open registry handle in AtiPoll". The message sits there for 5 seconds and then disappears. So far I can't see that it actually affects anything but I would like to get rid of it. I can find no references at either Microsoft or ATI (if indeed it has anything to do with the ATI video card.

2 - The Creative modem blaster has W2k drivers which install but where is the DSI Modem manager that it uses in Win98? How do I install it? As it is a Winmodem will it even work with W2K?

Forgive me for looking for easy answers here but the customer was anxiuos to get his system home for the long weekend and I haven't had the chance to go through all the docs and readmes which he took with him. I have assured him I will have answers for him next week. (Note - remind myself to charge extra for setting up dual OS'es on new systems)

PS - On the W2K side I haven't installed the Via 4in1 drivers yet - should I? Nor have I installed SP1 - should I too?



Thanks and have a Happy Easter!
