True, true.  He has an nVIDIA nForce2 chipset and uses the onboard 
video.  Maybe just installing nVIDIA's driver it would work. But since 
he doesn't really save much on his drive, I will just do a fresh install 
of 6.06.

BTW, I didn't like the installer.  The drive partitioning dialog box was 
extremely long; maybe four screens wide!  It was slower and not as easy 
to work with compared to the utility in the usual installer.

Now that 6.06 is installed and running on my computer, it is nice.  I 
noticed some mystery pauses using Adept, but I got through it.
