Thanks Jon. Sometimes I feel really low because sometimes I will ask a question without thinking farther, and when i hit the send button, off I go searching for one thing and end up finding the answer to my own question. :-O I have been going back and forth with init 3 and init 5 trying to figure this video driver situation out and I think I'm in a bit of a quandary. I found the ati How-to and was following along but it seems the driver I was trying to install conflicts with a driver that is installed. :-( It's a 32bit vs 64bit struggle I think. Anyway, it's past my bed time and I'll have to try and tackle this later on. Thanks! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
