Good suggestion, although the first time I went into the settings everything worked fine. I'll probably try this anyway. Unfortunately it'll mean opening 2 machines up, but it could be worth it. Unfortunately the new display adapter is not that fancy - the most basic AGP card I could get from Intrex at short notice. But I guess it's a lot fancier than what was in there.
