The card is probably taking longer to initialize than the system expects. Try booting into safe mode or verbose mode - see if that makes a diff. Since it only happens on a cold start, *shrug* Just live with it. You shouldn't be cold starting that often anyway, especially if sleep works. Since you're switching video cards anyway... take a good look at the slot. Make sure it's clean etc. Ditto for the fingers on the card. - Dan. -- - Psychoceramic Emeritus; South Jersey, USA, Earth. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
