Rephrase: A question from me then.... Lets say we are in windows classic display mode. Then I explore to my MP3 directory folder. I want to see the small MediaPlayer version that would appear in the right hand window under the folder discription in W2K just to the left of the display of MP3 names listed. Same with bmp's. How can I get that? Edit...I should stay off those

My ICQ 2000b 4.60 hacked for no ad's works fine, but the hideaway system bar mimic option flickers when I move the mouse over it...I just live with it.

Been using it a long time now...works fine.

The problem is that your video card is setting its default resolution at it's highest refresh rate, which probably is out of range of your monitor. I see this allthe time at work with NT4, as the HP monitors we use go "Black" when a unknowing user sets his resolution to look at a picture or something. The fix is to go into vga-only mode (safe mode with W2K) and manually set something like 800x600 or 640x480 and 60 Hz refresh and then reboot into normal mode. Remember, test all modes before applying them, it saves a lot of headaches. BBA
