Does it have an on-board video card? Have you disabled it? Some MB 
disable it automatically, others you have to do it manually.

In the English speaking world we read left to right, top to bottom.

The best response type is "in-line" posting, that is, snip text that 
does not apply to your response, adding your comments in context 
underneath as you go.

The problems and nature of Usenet means that not everyone sees all posts
in a particular thread in the right order or or even at all.

A more complete guide to posting to Usenet can be found at
