Whenever I select a screensaver, do a 3D check with dxdiag, or try to play a mpeg, my PC automatically reboots! I never had this problem with any of the prior beta's of W2K, or 98.
This is the 2195........
Bios virus? Video card problem??? Help?!!??!

I have bluelight.com (kmart) free unlimited access to yahoo's internet. Every now and then the screen freezes and I have to reboot my computer to free it. What do you suggest I do to prevent this situation?
Thanks.Ellen.

I know the answer to this on.If you are using an agp card. Win2k does not have full driver support for agp. so you have to download a hot fix form the microsoft download site:

http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/downloads/recommended/q261606/default.asp?FinishURL=%2Fdownloads%2Frelease%2Easp%3FReleaseID%3D25015%26redirect%3Dno

copy that address into ypour browser it should take you there..if not go here
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/search.asp
and do a keyword search for video and you should find it...good luck
