When I click the link, it opens a page. Then when I try to print the page, it crashes IE. Repeatedly. Does that happen for anyone else?

USing IE7 on XP 32-bit. Error reporting said that I needed updates, so I updated to SP3, and then all of the updates after that, and it still crashes.

Edit: Figured out a way around it. Load page in browser, hit ALT+PRTSCN, load Paint, Paste, click Print.

Works fine with firefox, and I don't got IE7 to test, but works fine with IE8.

Anyways, I picked up this monitor a few days ago, when the FW thread had it for $150, but my local Leominster OfficeMax had it marked for $179.99. So I'm going to take my reciept back and see if they will do a price adjustment for me.

I'm picking up one of these for my wife's aging office PC. Because her office computer has built-in graphics that tops out at 1280 x 1024, I need a recommendation for an PCI video card that can drive this monitor at the native resolution of 1920 x 1080. Since this is for office apps and not gaming, it doesn't have to be a speed demon. Any suggestions?

I can pick up an Diamond Stealth ATI Radeon 9250 PCI 256MB locally for around $55 but looking through the specs, it says 1600 x 1200 for "3D resolutions", but no listing for max resoluiton through digital or analog. Is this going to be a problem?

Actually, they had the 1080p 23" monitor for sale on Labor day, for $159 with $20 rebate.

They still have the $159 price....

Microcenter deal

I have the Acer H233Hbd (basically this monitor with speakers) and it's very nice. If I had the cash spare, I'd pick up a few more of x233hbids for my other systems.
