Ask them and they will tell you the same - as per Beanies description Windows has been unable to detect the correct graphics card and is thus using the default adapter drivers which do not work correctly with the installed card. Beanie boot the PC and watch the start up screen. There should be an indication of what speed the CPU is running at in the start up screens.

Here are the specs on some of the PIII models which were manufactured under the Advent name. Use the start up screen to identify the exact model and then tell me. I will find the graphics drivers for you if need be. If it doesnt list your PC download Sandra and see what the graphics card is listed as.

Pic, like I said I am grasping at straws.... What could suddenly have gone wrong seeing as she has done the exact installtion before, same cd and hardware ???

So my train of thought is that a format doesn't delete everything... We all know how easy it is to unformat, and uses previous info from the HD....

But being an onboard adapter I still suspect the BIOS
