Hi Dennis, Thanks for offering your info.
Well, this is a fairly new computer...Dell desktop 8300 purchased last fall. Intel P4 2.8 processor. 1 g RAM. 120 g hd, radeon pro 9800. I tried 10.0 on a much older gateway Intel 2 333mhz, 64 RAM...the same thing happened. I tried them with the same monitor...maybe it's the monitor? It's viewsonic g90f...I checked a compatibility chart on the mandrake site but it hadn't been tested.
