- Robert - I can sympathize with you. I've got a user here with the
- exact same problem - an AST 286 that does the same thing. I've been
- pulling my hair out trying to figure it out (he's my project manager).
-
- Everything in his computer has been replaced. At least once.
-
- The strange thing is - I'm using ver 10 of the drivers on an AST 386
- and have experienced none of those problems. Strange.
-
-
- I'll try going back to ver 9 of the drivers and see what happens.
-
- Please keep me up to date on what you find out.
