Sorry guys... PC went down completely. Windows locked solid and wouldn't even reboot into safe mode. I had to reinstall windows completely and after several hours of fiddling with service packs and other upgrades found out there are no drivers compatible with my graphics card! XfX have upgraded their version of the "hotfix" driver for ati based agp cards.... and it doesn't work! ( ATIs own version of the hotfix was never compatible with XfX cards in the first place hence XfX releasing their own versions) .
Right now I'm running Linux ( Slackware based Puppy for the technophiles out there ) and can browse the web and what not but sadly there aint no gaming for me for a while.... Unless someone has a spare Nvidea PCI (old type NOT express ) that they would care to donate for a small reward
So anyhow, roll on April and the promised pay rise!
