Good suggestion, although the first time I went into the settings
everything worked fine. I'll probably try this anyway. Unfortunately
it'll mean opening 2 machines up, but it could be worth it.

Unfortunately the new display adapter is not that fancy - the most basic
AGP card I could get from Intrex at short notice. But I guess it's a lot
fancier than what was in there.
