Interests:Physical Fitness in general, including just walking, to weight-lifting and such. Just about anything dealing with actual Native American Culture. I also try to be a "Gearhead - Motorhead" about any vehicle "motorized." This would include aeroplanes, trains, boats (ponds to oceans), and them automobiles. I enjoy just watching nature as well. Park benches to time at the beach. I can not swim, but I can wade all day if I have the time to. Enjoy aspects of Buddhism, Hinduism (sp?), with some Muslin, Islam maybe... Hard to say or write. I do not seem to stay in one area or religion entirely. Mostly a Philosophy thing. I have been doing some form of meditation since I was in early elementary school.

Currently I have

"Device \\.\DISPLAY1\Monitor0" in the Grahics Tab under Monitor of Piriform Speccy.

But after I update to the proper Intel P35/G33/G31 Grahics chipset, I have

"Device \\.\DISPLAY1\ " in the Grahics Tab under Monitor of Piriform Speccy.

Here is a simple snapshot of the tab that I am talking about...

Can anyone tell me if this (Device \\.\...) is "something" in the registry or if this is referring to some "directories" on my hard drive? I would asssume that it is in the "C:\Windows\" or "C:\Windows\sysWOW64\" directories if not a registry reference.

My basic problem is that with the proper and cerified graphics drivers installed I end up with a black screen of nothingness after logging on to an user account. I see the BIOS Screen, Windows Vista booting Screen, and finally the Welcome Screen all properly. After logging on to an user account I see nothing. I will then reboot (by holding the power button) fine with the same results. I realize that this might be the correct forum, but I thought I would go for it anyways.

Piriform Speccy is an awsome debugging and reference tool. I also use "SIW" and "PC Wizard 2010" as well

Please refereence my post in the Hardware forum for more details.
