make sure that your video card is ok. it might have fried out last night. open the case and make sure the circuit is clean. then check the system manager to make sure that its installed correctly. If everything is ok, I would invest in a new video card. ---

Yes! XP is heaven! Well, it’s graphics heavy! So I just set it to 1024x768 with the ‘classic’ look. I love it. everything is so much better about it. Plus is has something… security. yeah. something ME has never heard of. ---

Most stable MS OS i’ve found is win2k… I’ had a lot of trouble with XP over the last few weeks on a system i was fixing for my sister… It was ME and worked fine… It would not upgrade to XP pro so i had to format and do a clean install. Then XP would not start all the time… I like Win2K ---
