| 137459 | 2003-05-14 01:52:00 | here is another screen shot (stuartw.orcon.net.nz) Also another thing I meant to say is that some times when my computer freezes my screen goes all black & some with " - " flashing at the top right hand side. |

| 137460 | 2003-05-14 06:58:00 | Yea your drivers are ok. I'm quickly running out of possible solutions. I have a couple more ideas but they involve testing the system. I think you'd be best to reformat and go for a clean install. |

| 137462 | 2003-05-14 09:34:00 | Stu Just reading this item there seems to be a lot of "cross posts" and it gets pretty confusing exactley what is going on with you computer. I would pick the hardware configuration you want to use, rerformate your HD and reinstall your OS of choice (obviously backup any data that is essentual). This would: 1. Simplify you problems, without a complicated history. 2. Get you the setup you want. |

| 137463 | 2003-05-14 12:16:00 | Hi Stu, I'm not sure if ME has this, but my XP machine has a Direct X diagnostic tool for testing directX problems, you can start this by typing " dxdiag " in the run comand, have a play in there, there are some tests that can be run to check operation, if you find any problems in there, update you directX here... www.microsoft.com | Mattrix (527) | ||

In a nutshell: One in a while as I am doing something on my computer, it total locks up on me & the screen goes all funnily with lines in some places or my screen just goes totally black. |

Reformatting is out of the question, First because I have had a least two (maybe more??? )Reformats in 4 years since I got my pc & if I do that then good bye Win Me. |
