Does this sound familiar to anyone?
Ever since I got my VGA monitor (SAM*TRON) and card (Universal), I have
been having problems with my computer freezing while screensaver programs
are running. (This is not true when Windows is running, however. In
fact, my computer almost never freezes in Windows.) I have tried
different screensavers (I have not tried actually blanking, though. The
screensavers I've tried all write to the screen--fireworks, etc.) and
they all do the same thing. After about 3 or 4 minutes, everything
stops. I can't even reboot with Ctrl-Alt-Delete; I have to press Reset.
In the beginning I thought it was my mouse. It was old and didn't support
VGA. But I ordered a new, up-to-date driver and even got a different
mouse, but I still have the same problem.
Any ideas?
Gail
PS. I am attempting to cross-post this to comp.sys.ibm.pc (which I
read) and comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware (which I don't read). Keep
this in mind if and when you respond. If you are reading this
in the latter group, please post to the former or reply by mail.
Thanks.
