    Thanks Kam
    I'm new at this and not sure where to start.
    I am running a Dell PIII 1.1 GHz with 512 MbRam 2 hard drives and
    integrated audio/video. The video chip is Intel 810
    I think the problem is with my video resolution. I inadvertently set it
    too high for my card. I think the maximum resolution is 1248x1024
    I dont know enough about this to change the resolution via a terminal
    and when I try to bring up system settings, the monitor goes wacky. I
    suppose I could just reinstall Fedora and hope I can change the
    resolution in the process??

    Thanks for your help
    Steve
