Thanks alot for your replies guys, I really appreciate it...

I will delete wintest.exe with HiJack later tonight and I will post my results.
(crossing my fingers that windows will boot)

As for the dead pixel, I can't return or exchange the monitor due to the fact that compUSA is closing all branches in my state and all sales are final. My only hope is working out somthing with the manufacture, as I do have a 1 year warranty. I tried many programs that claim to fix dead, stuck pixels with no luck. But I won't give up untill this is fixed or I can exchange for a new one.

Again thanks alot guys!!!
