->I do the same on my box, although on Fedora it is "acpi=off". I didn't notice that it affected stability, I just did it to adjust my IRQ's through the bios better.<- Absolutely. I have acpi=off as well - it was totally unstable before that; it was one of the first things I changed. I would disable acpi in the bios but I need it for windows to run... and I only need windows for sibelius. But now that I know you can run score in dosemu, it might be time to bite the bullet - btw did anyone who got it to work try printing a Score score from dosemu? Thanks, Matt
