hi mag

the office chair not reclining may be the worst of your probs. <g>

but, moving along to the case at hand....

if a tap on the box fixes the display prob, perhaps reseating the vid card would be called for? just a wag, mag. <g>

if you are getting messages saying your <cd-rom drive letter>:\is not accessible, i would be leaning towards replacing it, depending upon age of unit. if it's like 3 yrs or more, replace. if less, maybe it's a simple matter of making sure that the drive letters assigned to it match in the properties settings dialog accessible via device manager. i think they are called start and end drive letters. if your cd-rom drive is e:\drive, then put e in each box. it may require reboot. i have had this work, as well as unplugging the ribbon cable from the mobo and reinserting it, but the probs were merely symptomatic of a drive going bad. i swapped it out for a new 50x delta drive that cost me $20 at staples. i'm happy.

the network neighborhood situation i'm going to have to think about some more. maybe some other suggestions will roll in for you on that.

more later. keep us posted. hope this helps

:)
