A load of information...

On my Win98 CD, a file RK98BOOK.CHM can be found in the Resource Kit folder. (Reskit) When I click on this file in Explorer, I get a window that looks like HELP, but with different stuff available. There is one big load of info here. Perhaps you could look at it (Win98) or see if an equivalent is available with Win2000.

I'm hardware challenged, which means that beyond giving the system a whack with my fist, I don't know much about it. (Did you whack your monitor?)

Maybe others can help more.

Cheers, PW.

Mark ...

have no experience with W2000 except that I helped a buddy uninstall it and reinstall W98 ....

he was/is using 4 monitors and was so very displeased with 2000 that he chunked it ...

but I have had a similar problem which you describe in the past on several boxes I've built ...
and every time the difficulty was caused by insufficient mem residing on the video card ...
couple of the v/cards had room for add mem ... this was a good while back and with the newer ones I upgraded to another with more mem .....

of course, you've probably already know this but I did think I'd just mention it ...
good luck ...

I have no ideas on your monitor problem but did run across this site while searching. Perhaps one of these voodoo tweaks will help out.
