Re: Windows Display Problems

Just to add, whilst you have finally installed vid drivers from Dell did you
also install the mobo chipset drivers?
If not you could have further problems down the line, since currently you
will be using the default win drivers

I operate this PC from my home, but I am connected to the University of
Cincinnati system (I am a professor) with all of its filters and
protective
software. In addition, I use Mcafee Enterprise, zone alarm, windows
firewall,
ad-aware, spy blaster. All are kept updated and on alert. And still it
happened.....These bozos are clever. I will look at your suggested web
sites
and be guided accordingly.
....Again...Many Thanks

Now if I could have figured out how and fixed my registry last week, I
wouldn't be suffering the susequent trauma of reconstituting this
system
almost from scratch. Better yet....I'd have given a lot to just catch
up
to the wretch who generated the virus that caused my PC to "deep-six".

I'm glad you got it sorted. If you protect your computer properly and
practice "Safe Hex", you will not get infected. There will always be
wretches generating viruses but if you practice "Safe Hex" you will not
get
them. I have quite a few heavily-used Windows machines and because they
have good av, firewalls, operating systems and major applications are
regularly patched, and educated users - the machines stay clean.
