[AccessD] No display adapter

I'm glad it worked out! I hate resorting to reinstalling windows (or knowing
someone else had to). I've rarely had to do that with XP.

We have this really cool list called dba-tech where we talk about things
like this all the time - EVERYONE'S invited to join that list also!
;o)

In fact we have other specific lists that you should all check out and
consider joining.
:o)

Bryan, John,

That was it!

Installing the MOBO drivers from the original disk that came with the laptop
caused a page fault (never a good sign) but on reboot it said that new
hardware had been detected, including.... The VGA adapter.  I allowed it to
install everything, but it stopped on some "SomeOtherThing.Sys required"
message.  That wasn't on the CD but I searched for it on the C: drive and
there it was in the System32/Drivers directory.  Fed in that path (twice)
and voila (after another reboot), I have my native resolution back.

Good job guys (and why I know that, if all else fails, ASK THE LIST!)
