Strange problem after NTL install!!

Hello there,
I have installed NTL bb on an old computer. I had to install an ethernet card and eventually got everything working. The computer is running windows 98.
Anyway, I was about to use auto update and start installing some stiff like firewalls etc when a strange crash happens. Essentially on the screen appears vlocks of vertcal lines.....kind of like plaid.....usually different colours. There is no time limit....it can be 5 minutes or it could be ren minutes. In fact I thought it might be a trojan of some discription as we had connecyed without a firewall. Im really not sure.
Anyway, I ran AVG anti virus and it came up with nowt....

Any ideas??

What did you install on the old machine other than the NIC ?

it could be the ethernet card drivers causing problems, maybe conflicting with your gfx card. Try removing the ethernet card to see if problem is cured. If so, you could try it in another slot.

Hi,
Its an old computer......the graphix card is part of the motherboard. Hmmm Maybe I should use USB and see if it happens with that!!

Can that happen? the ethernet drivers conflicting with the graphic drivers.....is it common i mean?
