I'll go LCD when they pry my pair of 21" Trinitrons from my cold, dead hands. I like being able to run at whatever resolution suits me/the game I'm playing. And Trinitrons are ultra-crisp compared to any other type of CRT.

We have a 19" monitor for our four-year-old computer which I don't use anymore (1280x1024). My laptop screen is 15.4" (1680x1050) and we just built a new home media computer with a 24" monitor (1920x1200). We just keep getting more and more in resolution - I find it difficult to go to lower resolutions after using the higher ones.

Oh, and I have a plan to buy a kickass gaming computer, but I think I'll be staying at 1680x1050 for the monitor's resolution, as a 1920x1200 monitor will be at least $100 more. I'm not a fan of multiple monitors at all.

Sorry if you've been asked this before, but what are your system specs?

I got caught up with last Christmas and got a 22in Samsung to go along with the 37in LCD TV that I also use as a monitor. Oops, did I say a 37in LCD TV.

Well now I'm looking to replace that with a 52in LCD TV that will also serve as the center of the home theater system. I will hook the computer to it. So take that you, you..................

24" is as big as I could go unless I modified my desk more, and I don't know that I want to be bothered with that.

Mine just *barely* fit, with only enough room for maybe a hair to pass through between the top of the monitor and the shelf.

Then, crop the canvas to your selection and center the image up in the canvas.

1. you have a dual boot machine for vista and xp - which OS did you install first?
2. are the two OS's installed on a different hard drive?
3. why is it that these updates are not installed from the past?
4. could you give us a break down of the hardware in use?
[ such as computer brand name or board used, hard drives and partition sizes - esp! ]

I ask this for getting some better understanding as to the why this has happened to determine if it is worth any type of a repair. There is a lot to that why also... which if not answered could happen again. Which I'm sure you do not want that at all.

The ole "Just reinstall windows" thing works - but in my book is not a good fix for a problem you have yet to fully identify with yet. It almost sounds like data loss due to a wrong partition maybe. With of course the ole "two OS's that have merged some data the wrong way!"...

Really need to get the story straight on how this has happened to figure the proper way to deal with it completely.

Take a deep breath and take your time with explaining what you think may have happened. Plus the when and what you did... along with the design of that machine completely.

I'm betting it is one hard drive with a partition for each OS.

Give the man a coconut

A support tech is there to earn money for their Company. Just like newspapers and news programs - there are still those who are of the opinion they are there to communicate the news ......

They are not, they are there to create wider circulation and viewing figures. Its the latter that boost revenue, since advertising rates are linked to circulation/viewing. Since regrettably most believe what they see in print or on the news, its a license to print money, and dumb down standards to minimise costs.
