You didn't, by any chance, happen to take the opportunity to rearrange the other cards in the system while the video card was out and the machine down?? I ask just because some old motherboards are touchy about where you put video cards. Also make sure the BIOS config is correctly set for the VGA card (ie. not set for mono). It's possible that you've just picked up some dust from the inside of the machine and stuffed it into the PCI socket too. > Sander -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] Collector of old Unix hardware.
