Also, have you tried uninstalling Desktop Restore?

You could try dropping back to the last System Restore Point created
before you installed Desktop Restore. That might fully excise Desktop
Restore from the system, which uninstalling it may not.

It's definitely not the DRM, which only restricts the ability to play
media files in stupid ways.
Most likely this is a registry corruption issue.
Backup and reinstall.

I think that was just coincidence. What I think triggered it was adding
the new monitor, then not allowing XP to phone home to verify the
change. Of course I don't deal with that kind of behavior myself, I run
Win2K.

Hi. Just a quick question for the computer people. I just bought a dual

card first or should I leave them in in case of problems with the new card?

Remove the software first to prevent any conflicts between the two sets
of drivers. If there are any problems with the change over, Windows
will support either card in a generic mode until you can get the proper
drivers installed.
