Hi Steve, That screen blanking almost sounds like a virus. We got one at the home computer that reset the resolution of the monitor to its most extreme setting. That effectively shut us down. Couldn't diagnose the problem because we couldn't see what was on the screen. A newer monitor was all that was required to see the problem and then reset the video image back to standard resolution. I didn't buy the new monitor, btw. Just kept the old one. Best regards, cheapskate@chequamegon.com

Hi Steve, you might try posting your problem at the Computer Learning thread. Subject 22366 I've seen Don post problems over there. Mine got so bad at home that I couldn't even get through a post on SI without it crashing (bet that made you guys happy). <ggg> I bundled it up and brought it down to my Sys Adm Guru here at work. I think he said he found four different virus's on my system but he really didn't think they were of the type that could cause the problems I was having. So we let it run a week and know problems. But I was still un sure, so I had him take everything off and upgrade the operating system. Now it is real slow, but it works fine. Keith
