The picture is not good, now, but we are back to a bare setup, without
other things loaded on top.....you actually have two problems that
are showing:
(1) your monitor does not seem to have the proper drivers
for your video card, and system display drivers.
(2) when you get a good picture, using DisplayDoctor, the
display drivers block you from connecting with your
ISP..
If this is correct....please reply back to this list, reference
this thread you have started.....also, give us more information
about your box...type, speed, etc, and your OS....

No....Gerald...I don't know....but there is somebody(s) on this list
who DOES know....

I don't know that, either, off hand....I ponder it......I'm just a
fount of noninformation right now......BUT....this list has more
knowedgeable and helpfull people on it than you can shake a stick
at, and, while I'm pondering....you send that additional info, ...
..and watch the help pore in...
I'll bet you get two replies from others, before you get this one
from me...
