Reset Settings

I recently did a reformat on my mom's computer. Everything came out alright but her settings are not normal. Her desktop looks like its in safe mode and when you browse the internet its all screwed up. The font is strange, the web page colors are not normal.The page takes up her whole screen but you can only see half the page(does that make sense...lol) I've tried every setting that I can find...nothing seems to work She's running Win98SE...... Any suggestions???

Have you tried the settings in display ??? if you feel confident and the motherboard has a CMOS Jumper setting short pin it , to do that move the jumper from the two it is on onto the one that is not ,of course including the midle one. and leave for a a few seconds then reverse.. if no CMOS jumper settings are there take out the silver round battery for about a minute and replace. Make sure com is unplugged (power lead) and ground yourself to remove any static from you.. this will in effect send the Motherboard back to factory settings.. Good luck

 

Yes I've tried that...no luck.

As for the rest of your post I would no doubt probably screw something up....lol.
Any other suggestions????

 

Thanks for the info. I downloaded a video driver from Gateway, it seems to be looking alot better. Do you think I still nedd to download from the site you recommended??

One more thing is her pages on the internet all have a scroll bar on the bottom. I'm used to one on the side>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
but the one on the bottom is really aggravating. She can live with it but I know it's not right. Any other suggestions????
