anthony, I did get instructions with the download (BeOS 5.0 P E). It came up as a Graphic Alert - more info button. It said from the CD look in /optional/experimental/drivers/app_server/ that it should be put in /home/config/add-ons/app_server/ Or go to http://www.be.com/beware/Drivers.html The driver goes in the in the same place. If it will not work go to safe boot mode by hitting the space bar once when the BeOS logo comes up at boot. Then wait for Boot Loader and select Safe Mode Options and then Safe Mode. Hope this gets you running. tom

Thanks Tom. I've followed your instructions but my system will hang whenever I boot using the drivers. Tried everything I've read from different forums still no success. Any advice?
