Here is the current situation. I downloaded the latest video drives for the SiS card from their website.
I also went into my BIOS settings and changed the amount of available video card ram from 32mb to 64mb which is the largest.
I tried the program again with ANY of the example programs and now this is what happens:
The program compiles and when it starts to run it turns my 1024x768 screen into a 640x480 screen with only the start bar present at the bottom the rest of the screen is black. The mouse pointer is an hourglass and I can move it around. It's not locked up.
I can do a CTRL+ALT+DEL and return to the IDE and select STOP and then program stops, everything goes away and the screen returns to normal 1024x768 resolution.
Things are getting really weird. I am convinced that it has something to do with this machine and this machine only as it works on my home computer without ANY problems.
