Eureka! Problem fixed. I kept reading every post on the Compaq site about disableing the onboard video card. Finally, I came upon a last comment from a Compaq tech saying that what ever board the person put in,they would not recommend the Diamond Stealth III S540 chipset. They did'nt say why, and I didn't care. That was the exact board that I had installed on my computer. I went out that instant and bought a voodoo 4 4500 PCI with 32MB on board and it worked instantly, including 32 bit. Please keep this in your tech folders for future Compaq users.
Good Luck All,
Paul McNerney
