@ Tito, @ FreeStyler, Thanks for the reply. Tried the ITK (both versions from osmuni's thread). Failed -- 'not supported' on my system. Apparently, my 2001 board is still too old. Really had hoped to get OEM working. Funny that CPU-Z can read and report the DMI bios and system areas correctly, but oembios cannot. Looks like my best shot is to try the VL key / hosts file option I've seen mentioned.
True! Just trying to 're-purpose' an old PC for kid's homework, etc. Can't afford multiple newish computers...
