Thanks Barbara. I've tried everything, and am going to try reinstalling xara again later.

I know I have some kind of video problem with this kit - I ordered my own spec and had it built. But I cannot catch the error message, and the screen always comes back up, and it only happens rarely. So I just cant face packing up a giant PC that I use every day and sending it back to the dealer. Perhaps one day, if work calms down.

Btw Artyboots is not a he.
