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
