Tried both suggestions and still have the same problem. The only thing
that
I can think of that is different since installed the new hard drive and
reinstalled everything is the driver for my video card is newer than the
one
I had before. When I started over I went to all the mfg web sites and got
the current drivers for everything. I have the old video driver that I
had
before the hard drive crashed saved on an external hard drive. I thought
about going back to that one since I didn't have this problem before, the
only other thing would be SP3 for XP but I get all the updates
automatically
so I would think that it was installed prior to the hard drive crash.
Although I was down a little over a week before I got things back up and
going.
Any more help would be appreciated.
