So I start rebuilding the Paris rig. One of the many things that pissed me
off so bad that I decided to bail was that I fired it up last sunday and I
got the "no interface connected to master card message". I wiggled, jiggled,
plugged and unplugged and finally said **** it! This was kinda the last
straw. I tested all of the cards with each MEC, tested all of the cables and
figured I had a fried EDS card and quite frankly I didn't care. I started
tearing it down in total frustration. No more of the *** for me I says! I'm
gonna go native by golly. Well, now I start rebuilding the Paris computer
(because I had already started breaking it down for parts) and first thing
that happens is that I load one of my EDS cards to test it and the computer
goes nuts, I'm getting insufficient resources messages, deBug messages,
tptque errors, you name it. I save my config file and my fx.var file,
uninstall Paris, reinstall Paris and the NVidia AGP card that was
functioning so perfectly before I tore it down goes totally bonkers and
repeatedly reboots the machine in safe mode. Windows can't uninstall the
driver with the uninstaller because it is running.......even in safe mode
..........so I hunt everything Nvidia'esque down in the registry and kill it,
reboot the machine.......same thing...........pull the Nvidia card go hunt
down an old Matrox card, hunt and kill some more NVidia crap in the
registry, kill some more Nvidia stuff that I had missed before on the C
drive......then I can get it to boot so I load the Nvidia PCI card. It finds
the driver that I had apparently missed somewhere, somehow but it's finally
working perfectly so I load all my EDS cards again thinking I might get
lucky.........nope!!!.......still getting the "sorry, you're hosed.......***
you!!!" message.........soooooo.........I start testing the cards one by
one. All 4 of them work fine if they're not interconnected and the pins all
look good with nothing bent.........now to test every ****'in interconnect
cable until I find the culprit(s).
Gee.......it's sooooo nice to be back in hell again..
