Hi Brian ,
I, too, had all sorts of issues. Not an expert user by
any means (still don't have TCP/IP but YD 2.0 is
installed), I ended up using an IDE HDD instead of
SCSI, Virtual Memory off. I don't remember if your
monitor makes the supported list, so try an Apple
monitor or just a smaller one. Partitioning the HDD is
critical, too.
