You have an onboard video card don't you? Most of the new onboard video cards uses system RAM as video memory. So, if you say to the BIOS that you have a 64megs video card, then it will take 64megs of your 128 megs of system ram as video memory.
If you already disabled the shared memory, you disabled your onboard video card. If you want to fix this without having to buy an add-on video card, read your motherboard documentation on how to restore the BIOS to default setings (usually by setting a jumper on the motherboard). Be sure to do exactly what the documentation sais. Jumping the wrong thing may break your motherboard... ____________________________________ Albert Charron Trisotech Inc.

When i booted to windows, it says i have 64mb ram. So i tot i'd try to disable the shared by going to Bios. After i exited and lo and behold, i don't get no text on my comp...it's a complete blank!!! Now i'm so frustrated with my new computer and i already took out the battery for 30 mins and put it back in and still nothing!! Help i'm really desperate! I just want to install Linux and all this had to happen. Regards, Sean
