Well, I goofed around with all the possible boot-options -- got to the point of frustration and let it sit for a n hour or so - then tried again. I finally got to a point where I got the message -- where the "OK" was in BLACK, "Starting Load Fallback Graphics Devices [OK]" Then another message "Starting Load Fallback Graphics Devices [FAIL]" -- where the "FAIL" was in RED At that point I felt the frustration and just powered down. When I was finished with another project I thought I'd try again -- hit the power switch & "Wall-ah" everything came up perfectly... Just thought I'd alert you to a possible problem... <pre class="moz-signature" cols="72">-- Regards, Gary Gary P.
