Well, I could not find a hardware problem, so I just did a complete
re-install of FC4, set up ndiswrapper, installed the ATI driver, etc. and
IT WORKS! So, I dunno what the crash during the update a couple nights ago
did, but it sure messed it up! By the way, ATI has a new 64 bit driver
instaler that works very nicely on this machine!

Now that this is working, it'd be nice to burn a DVD image so I could
always get back to here. Anything like that exist?

THANKS for all the help over the years!

Harold
