We just got a report today from another user with an identical graphics
controller who is also running Windows ME. We are looking into the problem and
will hopefully have a solution soon. This graphics controller also gave us
headaches with CM9000 -- I would suggest upgrading! :-)

As for the second problem (incessant scrolling text), nobody else has reported
this. Do these other machines also have the same video card as the first system
you listed? If not, what do they have and how much video RAM do they have?
