It is not a matter of endianess. I have also tried to install the ne2k driver into XP (while in safe mode) but I cannot already neither boot in normal mode nor in safe mode+networking. I have a "build 2600" MSDN volume license, maybe there is a difference between builds or between licenses: sw with license to be activated behaves differently from volume licenses (no need for activation). renzo
