I'm using a Diamond Monster Fusion AGP card, in an AMD k6-3/Epox main
board system, now going on three months. This past week something very
screwy happened. For some strange reason, from a power off cold boot,
it
won't load into Windows with the Monster Fusion video drivers. After
the
computer does it's thing loading the registry and autoexec.bat, when it
gets ready to start the GUI, I get a blank screen and the computer
freezes.

I have the ctrl-alt-delete or hit the reset button, boot into Safe MOde
and then restart from in Safe Mode. Then I get into Windows just fine.

Also, if I reset the video settings to Standard VGA, I am able to cold
boot into Windows.

I unistalled and reinstalled the video drivers, unseated and reseated
the video card, uninstalled the anti-virus (McAfee) - all to no avail.

Has anyone every had such a problem and how can I fix it?  All
responses
appreciated in advance.
