Continuing to crash the ol’ PC. The latest was more polite than usual. As I was working, my screen snapped to 640×480 with 4-bit color. A message box said that there was no driver for my graphics card (Radeon 9700). It rebooted to the minimal resolution, but I was able to get it back to a reasonable display by using Display Properties as usual.

So, is there a problem with my graphics card, or did something else wipe out its drivers? (XP’s error reporting system says that it’s a problem with the ATI driver, but I had already installed the latest and greatest.)
