Bill -
After fighting the past day with the installation of a Radeon graphics
card I'm wondering if the solution to your problem is similar to mine.
Are you running one monitor or two? Does your graphics card have multiple
monitor outputs? I could only boot to VGA until I disabled the secondary
video for the Radeon card in the Device Drivers. Apparently with some
motherboards w/onboard video AGP only supports one video output, even
w/the onboard disabled. If you're only running one monitor this might
solve your problem. Just be sure your monitor is connected to the primary
output, then disable the secondary and re-boot.
This may or may not solve your problem, but it's a thought...
Hey Paul, I'm running two monitors, but it's on an Nvidea card, and there is
no onboard video on the motherboard.
The problem came on really suddenly after around a year of faultless
operation, so it isn't a hardware install hell problem.
It coincided with an install of Norton Antivirus, but uninstalling it,
reinstalling drivers, and even doing a clean reinstall of windows hasn't
sorted it out, so I'm leaning towards Graydon's theory that the card just
went bad, coincidentally at around the same time I installed NAV.
It didn't occur to me to try disabling one monitor on shutdown, but I
wouldn't see it as being a viable fix anyway.
I should have a replacement card tomorrow, so I'm hoping to put this behind
me.
Thanks for answering
