I tried your suggestion ctrl+alt+f5 followed by ctrl+alt+f7 which works. It isn't the best solution (ie properly operating drivers) but at least it gives me the ability to recover the screen without loosing the stuff I was working on. I don't have the problem of freezing up thank goodness. Thanks much... Tom. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
