| 134379 | 2003-05-19 12:22:00 | Pheonix - you little ripper - you were spot on about the video drivers. I did exactly as you said and now have full control over monitor. Thanks for the great advice. |

| 134380 | 2003-05-19 12:31:00 | I'm not sure why this would have worked godfather, but I copied C: to D: (clean drive) using Windows Explorer to copy all files and subdirectories. Only file I couldn't copy was the Swapfile, win386.swp. Then I took C: out and switched it with D:, it wouldn't boot, I booted from a floppy disk, fdisk and made the C: (was D:) the active drive, it now boots properly. It still ran fine and I just accepted that it works. |
