Hi daniel

I booted in failsafe. Ran pcc and found a menu point "autoinstall" and then I was back again with everything running inclusive update notifier 

Thank You for helping me with this issue. And thank You for the link which is new to me

OleWilly,
               could you possibly give a more detailed explanation of what you did, for those of us following along?

Thank you.

I installed the newest PCLinuxOS on an old weak Dell Optiplex GX60 box. All went well but every time I booted the analog clock widget was heavily distorted and misplaced. Also when notifications was popping up the first fraction of a second the pop up area looked like a TV set which was not in horizontal sync. In the attempt to solve that problem I changed the video driver from i810 to Xorg driver intel.

That's where the trouble started

Hi Just17

Maybe that is not much of an explanation. By weak I meant low edge machinery. I have only installed 512 Mb ram. - Cool  -  the system running, but of course fairly slow but obeying my commands if they are ok. All caused by lack of understanding of fundamental linux which I try to enhance. - I am a rather elderly guy 65 yrs old   and I cannot improve my own memory as in computers

It was this that I asked about.

You found a menu ......  which one, where?

"autoinstall" of what?

Those are the questions I am left with trying to figure out what you did to correct the problem 

If you cannot be sure we can leave it as a mystery

I'm interested too.

Hi

As earlier stated i ran pcc as su in failsafe mode.
Then I went into that rudimentary menu and there was a point under the monitor section. And I chose autoinstall. - And here I had my OS back.

I used the linux live cd only to get a screen as my experiments with the driver caused the system not to boot
fully with a visible screen. My monitor came with this message half through the process : No input signal
