Hi guys, This is regarding the Mandrake install I had trouble with on Monday. I have told him that these sort of queries should be directed to the CLUG.

When I got home last night and set my box up I decided to try a couple of things myself, definitely in the dark with this, however I redid the install as a upgrade and set the monitor settings manually to 800 by 600 by 85hrz. I set the colour at 16(I think thats right) When I tested it the monitor screen was stable and aplain gray colour with a timing window in the centre asking if it was correct. I finished the install and rebooted and the screen was still stable but the desk top wouldnt or couldnt load. I then decided to reinstall completely manually doing the screen settings and after rebooting the first time user window appeared and I finished the setup and closed that window afterselecting the desktop and rebooted. Screen was stable but still unable to load the desktop, it changed from the Mandrake wallpaper to a blue screen every five or so seconds. Thats as far as I got and if you can offer any advise on where I can go from there it would be appreciated. Just one thing more , when I did the reinstall it picked hd5 as the partition to be used, not sure if this was the correct one.
