I can't use winflash. It wants a sys file, I assume IO.sys, and as I said as far as I know I don't have it. Is there another sys file I have to use?

You should. To my knowledge, there is no such thing as Windows without IO.sys (maybe Vista won't have it, who knows). Try showing hidden files in the folder options window (accessible from Tools menu of explorer). It should be right there on C:\. If not, do a search of the Windows (or Winnt) folder for it.

Of course, my C:\IO.sys on Win2k is 0 bytes, and I have a NTIO.sys in System32. Make sure you are reading instructions for XP.

All I get is a message telling me "Winflash MFC application has encountered a problem and has to close". At least before it asked me for a sys file. Now I don't even get that prompt.

EDit: I guess I'll just have to take it in to be fixed up, or change it for an internal one that will work. As I said it works fine on my brother in laws laptop, which by the look of it is newer than mine.

I'd like to know. Should the Nvidia stuff be sitting on C: drive or should it be installed somewhere under windows?

The latest nvidia stuck itself on the c: drive on my comp, so probably yeah.
