[ale] Problems w/ (VERY) new hardware...

[Kelly Williams]

Thanks for you reply Jerald. Not to put too fine a point on it but I don't
know how to do ANY of what you wrote. I've read the instructions on nVidia's
site, the problem is that I've NEVER booted into or ran programs from a
non-graphical envirement. As well I wouldn'r know how to edit ANYTHING so
you see my problem. I'm a Windows convert w/o ANY real experience from the
command line. Tongue-lashing and brow-beating are more than welcome for a
guided tour :-)
