Hello again. You know, I think I'm going out of my MIND w this--it's so exasperating, it's almost sickening!!! Yes, the lines still appear in safe mode. As for going the CP -> Stgs, etc., route, I've done that THOUSANDS of times--and NOW, in addition to there being no MONITORS listed, there are no DISPLAY ADAPTERS listed EITHER!!! The thing is, each time I reboot, I get this message from Ws saying the display is not configured properly--as if I didn't KNOW--and putting me into INSTALL WIZARD mode. Someone suggested it might be the monitor per se, but I don't think so--it was working perfectly till Dodo Bird here (me) started fooling around w the resolution. You see, I thought that if Ilowered the resolution, the system would be fasted-- and it was for a while, but then the lines appeared--and NOW I only have 16 colours--and I can't increase the resolution for love nor money!!! I tell you, I am at my wit's END with this. Do you know if there is anything I could access on the Ws CD tht would help, and how I would go about accessing it? Once again, many thanx for your help--I would dearly love to get this settled soon--it's so MADDENING!!! Millie.
