Sorry it took me so long to respond...I have been super busy. The way to keep Win2k from assigning those IRQ's automatically is to reformat your hard drive, and before you reinstall Win2k, go into your bios and disable ACPI, It should be under PCI/PNP Configuration or Power Settings...im not sure if the KT7 had that option available, but I want to say that it didnt. ACPI is what Windows uses to map more than one device to an IRQ. Its not so much a problem on Win ME or earlier, but on XP and 2k, it can start to be a problem.

I can hold my breath under water for 60 seconds...I believe UDT/SEAL guys have to be able to hold their breath for up to 3 minutes or so...maybe longer.

Are you overclocked at all? If you are...go back to non-overclocked settings. I had a KT133 board but I couldnt remember if they had the option to switch between using a 133mhz bus or a 100mhz bus. If it has the option to switch down to the 100mhz bus, try that. It's odd, but I have a KT266A, and I had to (and still have to) switch my board down to the 100mhz FSB to patch/install OFP, but I can switch it back up to 133mhz after I patch it with no problems, I am even running overclocked at 148mhz FSB stable. If that doesnt work, try disabling Ultra DMA on your hard drive (through the BIOS) and try it. VIA chipsets seem to not get along very well with OFP in the installing/patch process. I'll check and see about your board, that SB Live! might be giving you some problems, you might just need to move it to another slot and see...sometimes the slots share IRQ's with something its not supposed to share it with and data gets corrupted very easily.

The SA-4 is an OLD missile. It was designed as a bomber deterrent. Just looking at the missile, you can tell it was made for high altitude flight (its big, hence it carries a LOT of fuel and a big warhead because it isnt very meanueverable) and long ranges. The missile itself has about an 80km range, but at that range the missile is almost out of fuel, and traveling so fast that it cant turn very well, hence the reason it has a proximity fused warhead. So it wouldnt lend itself well in OFP. If you want to put a good SAM into OFP, put either the SA-10B/C, the SA-11, SA-13, or the SA-15. All of those are EXTREMELY deadly, turn pretty well, and are pretty hard to evade (with the exception of the SA-13). The SA-10B/C also have pretty long ranges, well outside the range of most anti-radiation missiles that aircraft fire at SAM sites.
