Hi All, This is for the computer ppl. Windows XP won't load if there is a driver mismatch between the monitor and the software. Booting in using the F8 key allows one to bypass this by booting in "VGA mode." Windows XP kills the video if it detects a mismatch. This is why you get the blank screen effect. Same theory applies if you move the hard drive to another machine. You must then repair the installation with an XP setup disk to accomplish this task. The drivers for the software would need to be updated to get the software to work. HTH......
