[quote="Short Hand":3bc22]format, boot up in safe mode, install mobo drivers, then video, then sound card. trouble shoot me lad 1 at a time.[/quote:3bc22]

so you think it might have to do with the order in which the shit was installed?

i know that naturally, the mobo was the first to be detected, and an vga enabled graphics controller was detected last in a series of like 5 found new hardware wizard popups...im gonna wait this out for tonite at least unless i can get in touch with the dad

sounds logical sh, thanks

sniper101, that would be what you would think solves it right? not the case, as i was saying before that the nvidia drivers we dled off the net seem not to have worked...this is a wierd problem, makes me wanna pull my hair out

the first thing i think i need to do is gain connectability to the net, which might be possible by re-installing our ISP, the shitty ole AEGIS client
