Thanks for the suggestion, I'll take a look at that when I go put in the video card a friend is going to give me tonight. I'm supposed to be getting a second monitor as a late christmas present, so it'll be useful to have two video cards available if that's all it takes to fix the card. ^_^ I'll let you guys know if that's all it took to fix the card. :) ~~ >^..^< ~~ I'm a gmail user!
