hey,
My desktop is stuck on 640x480 pixels but the colors can change. I see the bar for moving the pixel size but it won't move. It was working fine and that had only happened a couple times before and I just had to restart the computer. Now it is stuck ever since I installed a firewire card in my computer. Please help.

I'm not that familiar with Firewire devices or cards, but I am pretty sure what has happened.........The Firewire card and your video card are "sharing" the same IRQ or I/O address and the video card doesn't like it http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/biggrin.gif . Go to "System Information"....located in Accessories/System Tools/system information.......double click on Hardware Resources & check for conflicts etc........I know you cant change the IRQ for the video but you might be able to change the Firewire cards resources.

I'm putting a new Fat32 partition in my Head Drive...hope it speeds me up.......
