I have a Compaq FP 7317 LCD monitor that has to be adjusted for horizontal/verticaql size everytime I start my PC. It's a fresh install of XP Pro and this is the first time this has ever happened. I have downloaded and installed the monitor driver and there are no conflicts in Device Manager...
Maybe I didn't elaborate enough. The system will not boot at all. Reflashing the BIOS is not an option. When I push the power button, the machine powers long enough for the mobo to beep four times and then immediately shuts down.
Hind sight is always 20/20. I used the BIOS tool at esupport.com to provide them with the information needed. If they needed more info then they should have asked for it. What's done is done. What I need to do now is find out the extent of the damage.

Picked up the router/card combo and set up six days ago. No problems so far with connection or speed. Well worth $13. Apparently you want to get the revision "C" router.
