How have I been missing that? 

Anyway, I added a new hard drive and started fresh with Vista Business
edition. I've been slowly installing everything and keeping track of any
problems. So far, so good. The only thing that caused Netflix live streaming
to pause was when I had to configure Windows Media Player, but it's okay
now. The disappearing graphics problem hasn't returned either. When I added
the drivers for the ASUS, I left out the utility that controls fans. And I
did not load the NVidia 8800 drivers from the CD.

Thanks Bob,

Chuck

Don't worry about the 'long strings of numbers', when you click on
"details", you will often find in the top right hand corner what it is that
is interfering/causing the error.
