[ddots-l] Re: Oh! My! God! Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!

How did the 2 display adapters show up u mean? Maybe a driver installation
gone wrong, or perhaps an issue when they installed the drivers from the oem
cd. Usually these companies send out multiple sysem drivers on a single
disc, and if the drivers closely matched according to name and signature and
what not, it's possible they installed both... Or it could be a crazy
windows issue...who knows...

HTH, D!J!X!

What I want to know is, how'd it happen in the first place, and what caused
it to happen?  Very very odd!
