thanks for the info about the MemTest ... I had prior to posting the help me, done the usual research on the STOP error - with the resultant entry from M$ pointing to possible faulty RAM ... as both stop codes relate to "PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA" .
... anyways,
the test was negative
Test Pass Errors
---- ---- ------
Std 1 0
100% PASS.

I am sure it is an incomaptibility to the nVidia hardware or Drivers for this
nVidia GeForce4 420 GO [Toshiba] card ...
[ actually researching further at microsoft, they have a page relating to SP2 drivers and later being incompatible to these cards !!! - causing weird screen sizes and other faults if installed ... 8| ]
these cards unfortunately are a slightly "cut-down" version of the similar desktop cards, mainly as a power saving feature for the portables, making them about 90% compatible with what ever ... ;(
