I haven't had a red screen, but on occasion I get after waking up from the startup/login screen, I have a striated multicoloured screen (sort of like those 3d images you unfocus your eyes on to see the hidden 3d image) A reboot fixes the problem. Not sure I should be concerned, but maybe? regards, tim tim.molnar Digital Tao http://www.digitaltao.ca Victoria: 250.721.3224 (fall 2004) Cell: 250.661.6426 tam at em.ca University of Victoria tmolnar at uvic phone: 250.472.5289
