All the response indicates that I am not the first to have the problem. I have noted
all
solutions, and thanks to all. I will not do reinstalls from now on. I don't know the
source
of the problem unless it is the S3 Trio3D/2X agp card. If I keep having the problem I
may
change cards. Any suggestions for a card that 7.0 likes? Thanks again for the
response.
