I think you can say you've inherited AT's bad luck when your hard drive implodes, your screen becomes a gateway to Hell, your motherboard melts and your mouse commits suicide, at the same time.
Well, previous to this current issue, my hard drive has thrown in the towel and my motherboard has fried itself, but I agree, I haven't reached AT's level yet!

Good news! The problem has been identified and resolved.

I brought it into Future Shop, and they fixed it for me, since I couldn't solve it. Turns out the video card was fried, even though I was sure it wasn't. When the card fried itself, it also shorted out the motherboard, with the result of screwing up most of the drivers (or so thye said). So I ended up dropping some cash on a new, shiny video card, and fixed the drivers, so everything appears to be fixed, for now
