hi all, well i took the plunge and removed my faulty graphics card. the system did indeed default to the onboard graphics. on restarting the pc, i got the jfw vidio intercept manager come up. but i am now having a problem. when trying to install the video intercept. i get the following error message: Error! An internal error was encountered while modifying the video chain (DCERR_IDD_NOT_FOUND). can anyone shed any light on this one? i've tried several times but it won't install and so jfw won't run. kevin - (lord l) "Civilization exists by geological consent, subject to change without notice"-Will Durant contact me: email/msn: kream@xxxxxxxxxxxx skype: lordandladyl
