Jim,

Thanks very much for writing. I am still using Win95 + updates.
Does this registry fix only work with Win98?

I don't want to install Win98 over an already partioned 6.5Gig
drive.

I found out that DPMS will put the monitor into standby so I
am buying a new video card with DPMS which I need anyway with
my new monitor.
