I tried your suggestion ctrl+alt+f5 followed by ctrl+alt+f7  which
works. It isn't the best solution (ie properly operating drivers) but
at least it gives me the ability to recover the screen without loosing
the stuff I was working on. I don't have the problem of freezing up
thank goodness.

Thanks much... Tom.
