I recently had the Desktop Hijack Virus on my computer.

But the anti-virus guys on this forum helped me out and I am now virus free. :ph34r:

One of their recommendations was to dowload all of the latest updates from Microsoft, which I did. One of the updates was the latest driver for the Dell NVidia GeForce2 for the Dell Inspiron 8000.

Since downloading the updates, when I plug my Dell Inspiron 8000 into my port replicator, my external monitor (Dell 1702FP) gets as far as the Windows 2000 Professional Screen, then goes blank! :tazz:

It insists its in PowerSave mode. I never had this problem before. What should I do? I thought about reinstalling the original disks. THat may solve my display problem but it might remove some of the latest security features from the most recent updates.

Any help

is appreciated.
