    @ 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.

    Best bet is to change the hardware! 9 year old board?

    True! Just trying to 're-purpose' an old PC for kid's homework, etc. Can't afford multiple newish computers...
