Well, I thought I'd give a progress report. So far.

Doesn't appear that any new board is necessary, and possibly not a driver. I downloaded Driver Detective, which suggested that certain drivers were needed, so I downloaded them. D.D. found no fault with S3 ViRGE DX/GX, the video driver I have.

The problem kept getting worse, so yesterday I gave up and took the computer to a computer fix-it shop. The tech eventually called me, and told me that a couple of utilities, called Widgets, that I had from Yahoo! were the cause. I said okay, so he disabled them. He also blew out the dust inside.

I got the computer home, and the desktop was just as it should be. But the moment I clicked on SeaMonkey, the icon images expanded by about 30%, and Mudcat (my home page) when I get to it, is enlarged. I don't see the left-most letter or two of the display. Similar problems elsewhere. And when I get off the web I find the desktop at just the resolution and size I want, as it was before I went on line.

I.E. doesn't suffer from the problem, nor (to my surprise, since it's closely related to SeaMonkey, from Mozilla) does FireFox. But I won't use I.E., and FireFox doesn't have integrated email, which I want strongly.

Quicken isn't affected, praise be!

Monday the computer goes back to the shop.
