I had some new graphics glitches this week, so went and downloaded the recommended latest drivers from Nvidia -cant remember the exact version.. 94 something i think - Anyway, after logging out on Sunday shortly after Wylan got in an arguement with "arispotle server" 
my monitor shut down, and every time I tried to reboot, everything from the initial POST screen onwards was full of garbage characters until the monitor shut down at about the password entry stage of logging on.
After several reboots etc, I tried swapping in an old graphics card (a GeForce 2 Ultra
) which at least allowed me to get to desktop - albeit at 16 colors 800 x 600 - which reassured me that it wasnt the BIOS which had died .
So before Gillayne gets back home to Ryzom I shall have to get a new card.. and while Im at it get some more RAM for Maei so it doesnt take her longer to teleport than it takes to walk the distance
This is annoying, I had hoped to keep my old rig running until Vista was functional - in a year or so - then do a proper upgrade.
