As this is a new (clean) install, I guess the libpath is what I need to be looking at to see where the system is looking first - I thought than RUN!.exe created a strict libpath, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

Unfortuantely the supplier substituted a "better" video card than I ordered which isn't SciTech, so I will need to get that exchanged however I can run fine off the on-board video until I get that sorted out. Did you sort it out? What way? My boot up is choking on the video. My old Matrox card is giving a blank stall and the on-board video will not load after vga selection on eCS 1.2 bootup.. 2. As I know we often have to "make do" with one or other integrated feature on a motherboard not working under eComStation, I wanted to point out a current motherboard with Dual Core AMD64 processor support with integrated Video, LAN, sound, USB, SATA and EIDE - ALL of which work under eCS. I won't say all functions will be available, but it works "out of the box" - tested with the eComStation 1.2 Demo CD and I'm about to install eCS 2.0 Beta 3 on the system, so I'll let you know how well the AMD 64 X2 4200+ Dual Core works then as well ! So how did it go? Did you change kernels. I'm confused by the stuff on http://www.ecomstation dot org/ re the testcase kernels and the discussions on http://forum.ecomstation.ru/ on dualcore chipsets.

In my case, with NO PCI-Express card installed and the on-board video selected in the BIOS, SCITech finds and uses the on-board video. My supplier, true to his word, replaced the video card with the ATI Radeon X550 card that I originally ordered and it works fine. As for SMP - I have talked with the ACPI developers and provided them debug data and they have come back and confirmed that their drivers do no support this chipset at present and cannot say when they will support it. So it's single processor mode for now.

I have finally done a minor 'dummy-spit' over the way my faithful old Desktop Wizard (dtw1410.zip, fully paid for and registered) no longer stays registered or functional in the Desktop with recent versions of X-Workplace. I have put up with regularly re-setting the DTW registration code, and re-setting the nifty features I use because I am not sitting at this computer every working hour anymore. Having to put up with the Win-XP desktop all day instead, has corrupted my ideals somewhat. However, I still use this machine and DTW enough that the absence of things like file stats, folder stats, tree stats and Zip file viewing is lowering my productivity. So, can anyone please tell me how to make the two utilities, which have some overlapping features, but not all, actually cooperate correectly?
