To the PT Geeks...

Heads/Cylinders... Lord only knows. There are so many variables to consider.

As for video issues.... Windows 7 is your friend. If it cannot figure it out, especially for a 'older' board....

Win 7? The unit is running XP Home.

Again, all was well til I installed video/display drivers. Got the ATI ones...then was told it couldn't install because I didn't have DirectX 8 installed...then it turns out that DirectX 9 is the last one to support XP....ARRRGH!

Thanks...

Is the graphics card an actual card or is it embedded to the motherboard? Do you have Everest, Belarc, or SIW (System Information for Windows) to find out what the graphics card is to figure out the correct drivers?

And you know your a geek when you yell VISTA!!! instead of dropping an F Bomb.

LOL!!

Catty, can you pester me on facebook? If not, PM me your boards model number or the vid cards model number if it is an add in card. Hubby can find just about every driver there is, especially if it is an XP driver.

I just realized that the video in the other computer is NOT onboard - it's a Radeon x300. Seems to me I downloaded both drivers, but will clear them out and try again. I will also remove the card and reseat it.

As for the scan...wee Zoe had hopped up and knocked the HD cage to the ground...and the USB plug popped right out of the computer. So we start all over again today! lol

Thanks, everyone.
