Well, that certainly agrees with things I managed to find on the web and read (nothing in the manual of course!!!). Also, I spent a long evening yesterday, attemtping to install updated (and even older) version of display drivers to try to get this working. I even dragged a TV over and connected it just in case it needed to 'detect the presence' of the TV connection to wake up.

Well, all I can say is thanki goodness for System Restore points in XP Pro, that's all

Thanks for the reply. It has helped me realise it isn;t just me then.

Of course, with an Athlon 1800+ based machine 2.5 years old now so an old timer (even with a 1Gb or RAM) I'll upgrade the whole box before investing in a new card. I'd then likely put one of those jolly old Matrox RTX.10 (or 100) cards in it and do the job properly.

Cheers

Alan
