Is the video on the mainboard or a separate card?

Can the person hear: the fan in the PS? Are the hard drives slipping up
to speed?
Is there any beeping? If so how many?
Is the monitor plugged in correctly, or the video cable?

No .. it powers up. But there is nothing on the screen to indicate the
BIOS is responding and there are no beeps from the Post to indicate what
the problem might be.
It has to be either the processor or the motherboard as I've put some
good memory in and that doesn't fix it.

Hmmm... I'm assuming the monitor never reveals anything... a dark blank
raster the whole time, correct?
It may be a failed video connector on the computer, or a failed on-board
video chip or other component.
Can you remove the case and listen if the drives seem to be accessing
data (sometimes you can hear the heads moving around). If so, that
might indicate the computer has passed through boot checks and is at
least loading some of the boot data and files. That would again point
to lack of a video signal.
Most low level errors usually post error signals (or course, that's
assuming you have a working sound source...)

I have similar problems with similar LaserJet and Epson drivers and
WinXP.
The Apple Laserwriter II NT (HP LaserJet 11D equiv) and Epson 640
were fine under Win 98 and Win Me.
Neither works correctly under WinXP, with or without SP2.
Obviously the guys at Redmond don't know anything about, or
use the printers, they write drivers for.
Fortunately a PII 350 with Linux drives both printers.

So what does the m$ signed driver mean? and why does windows warn about using
an unsigned driver?

Nothing more or less that that is the required file format. Don't read more

So the mfrs couldn't care less about drivers for legacy hardware,
let them die along with Win98 and the fat cats of Redmond are
quite happy to blame the mfrs when the drivers are crap.
Which is why MS is facing increasing pressure from open
source.

D&mn! forgot to reinsert the removed cross-post!
to quote from the Help files in XP....
<quote>
Windows device drivers and operating system files have been digitally signed
by Microsoft to ensure their quality. A Microsoft digital signature is your
assurance that a particular file has met a certain level of testing, and
that the file has not been altered or overwritten by another program's
installation process.
Depending on how your administrator has configured your computer, Windows
either ignores device drivers that are not digitally signed, displays a
warning when it detects device drivers that are not digitally signed (the
default behaviour), or prevents you from installing device drivers without
digital signatures.
