Instead of trying to respond to this note, I think I'll wait for Eve's
list of questions, if that's okay.

What the heck type of video card are you using? You might check the web
site of the manufacturer of the card to see if there is a better driver
available. It's possible that the card was introduced just before NT 4.0
was released, and the card manufacturer only had a barely working driver
to give Microsoft to put on the NT CD.
