Hi!
I have this problems too on one of my two pentium machines. They have exactly (mostly) the same software-configuration, differing only in motherboard (one is an ASUS P24XE, with no problems, the other is an ASUS P24N which causes (probably) the problems). Perhaps this might be a BIOS problem? (the P24XE has 1.13, the P24N has 2.01, both are PNP-Versions)
hope this helps to track down the bug.
Richard.
