 I ran through the dual core fixes and that's not it, plus my problems don't fit the multi core issues.  I can't log in to have the video problems associated with multiple cores.  FWIW, I verified affinity is set to cpu 0 in processs, checked power settings... no luck.
 I'm about to upgrade to an SSD and windows 7.  Maybe I'll just try this again once I have a fresh install...
