The XP/graphics hell continues

<< < (4/4)

miramis:
I found 98/XP networking easier to set up than 98/98, for some reason when both pc's were running 98 the networking would go screwy from time to time and take me forever to work it out. XP/XP networking is so much easier and so far (in a year or so) hasn't caused any problems.  I couldn't go back to those 98 networking days now since I've become spoiled with XP.

You've done great to get this far Ness, when you learn to do things like this yourself it not only gives a nice feeling of accomplishment, but gives you a sense of freedom from having to rely on others too.  I only ask for help now when I need something physically pulled out or put in - I'm too clumsy to trust myself with hardware lol  :D

I don't know anything about Radeon (I'm an NVIDIA girl), but my screen flickers when my refresh rate is set too low. Have you tried increasing it?

ZephyrZodiac:
Would your hubby consider buying another PC (just the computer, not everything else) then linking the two with a KVM switch?  that way, you could leave the one you have running happily on 98 and he could install XP on the new one.  Then, eventually, you could add the extra monitor, keyboard and mouse and just have two PCs which could be networked. 

SciBirg:
From experience: In case you have tried with several different drivers, go to start>run and type msconfig.
Go to startup and make sure that stuff that is not supposed to start up anymore, ie old drivers or tweak programs, isn't starting up without your knowledge.
