I dug out an old one to replace the one I swapped, and suddenly the os didn't like it(not Ultimate another distro). I finally just installed a different os(one that would recognize all my hardware). So now I have Windows XP on my main box, Ultimate on my fun box and Target Linux on my cluncker box. It's nice to see that the third world has finally got us all by the short and curlies!!! pch

The computer boots up in a preset mode, configured at installation,
until the part of the grub process where it looks at xorg.conf to load the drivers & modules.
Nvidia users generally see the Nvidia splash screen at this point.
It doesn't matter what you do to xorg.conf or configure in Gnome,
the part of the boot Before the Nvidia splash screen won't be effected by these.
Next time you install an OS have the LCD hooked up,
I bet your pop-up goes away.

All you do is connect the modem to your phone line, attach filters to all your phones, hook an ethernet cable up to your computer, install the software and connect directly to the internet. No proxy server, no download limit, realatively fast, nothing else. They mail you the package with all you need to get going, and if there is a problem, they fix it right away!!! I have been using it for 2 years without one hitch.pch
