I *thought* I also entered expert vga=771 on this one, too, but could be
mistaken. Everything's working fine, given I've only run it a few hours and
haven't tried anything like burning CD's or using the USB port or such, but a) I
don't want to unknowningly screw up, and b) I'm trying to learn the whole
system.
Thanks again for the response.
