Re; the large black border: Begin by examining the BIOS setup program to
see if there are options there for the video display. the "stuck" 16-bit color mode: this may involve the windows video driver. Seek a new driver for your particular video system. Begin by booting to Safe Mode and reinstalling the driver using Device Manager. Remove the video adapter and reboot to let Windows reinstall the driver. If no joy, see HP's or the video vendor's website for an updated driver. And your system will perform better if you upgrade the physical memory to at least 256 MB, to reduce the use of the swapfile. Memory is inexpensive at this time. -- Jack E.

Reboot to Safe Mode
Open Device Manager Remove ALL Display Adapters Remove ALL Monitors Reboot to Normal Mode - Windows will reinstall the required drivers - hopefully curing your problem. -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2005, Windows) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/millsrpch.htm http://tinyurl.com/6oztj Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's "Pompey©" wrote in message . uk...
