[Sgt.Pepper]

Thanks all for the input, although I still don't have it up, you have help in narrowing down the possibilities. THrough some research at the Intel site, I have dound that with some computers one can't disable their vid card in BIOS, which I believe I am one of those. That would explain the time I spent in there searching for something. And as for turning it off through Device Manager, I think that is the case with me, but after many attempts I still haven't gotten too far.

I think it is time for me to bite the bullet and give the manufacturer a call. From the post I have read in here there are a lot of knowledgable people, but I will not bother you with the details. That could get cumbersome.

So again, thatnks for your help, and in the future I will pay attention to what I am buying. But it has been a learning experience!!
