Thanks everyone for the helpful comments. I have tried a whole bunch of things
and based on the fact that I can boot to dos and *sometimes* get the card to 
"remember" that it can do 800x600, and it will work ok for about 1day or so, I 
figure the card is defective. I am working on invoking my extended warranty as I 
type.
After this experience, no more ATI cards for me. Period. The way this "top of the 
line" card got dumped from the driver updates list w/in 6mos of my buying it has
really ticked me off. Additionally, I am pretty unhappy that it never performed up
to the standards that it should have. 'nuff said.
