Hello and thank you all:

I finally did get this computer up and running.  Thanks Jun for the tip
on "Never do a ""Typical""
from the Sis530 setup, install the VGA driver only!!! "  That did it I
got the drivers installed and
after a reboot I had the proper drivers and it worked.  I ran all day
with no problems.
A special thanks to all who helped with this computer, Jun Qian, Steve
Wolfe, and Jim Hibbs.
I couldn't have done it without you and this group of people.

<Well, nothing you can do except to try the newest driver from SiS
website.  If you are already trying the new driver, make sure that you do
it right.  SiS driver set can be only installed by running the setup.exe,
you can't do it in device manager. running the setup will take you to
some options,
remember, never ever click "Typical", it will destroy your good work (by
trying to install old DX file and other out-of-date stuff), always do a
"Customs" installation, never install any DirectX, or anyother media
related part, install the VGA driver only!!! Good luck.

Since your mobo has been shorted, there is possibility that it has been
damaged.
