Win98 Graphics Problem

Yooperlady suggested I try and update graphics card to solve the problem of screen appearing to be in safe mode--but it isn't (no safe mode in corners--marked as normal boot-up)--when I tried to respond tp the original post, I keep getting an exception window saying that IE must shut down.
I finally got the ActiveX controls right to get a scan from DriverAgent--now get screen saying that web page can't be displayed. Went to PCDrivers and scanned; reported all was well.
Should I uninstall (please explain how) the sis530 driver and attempt to download another copy? Or could there be another cause?
Appreciate any help I can get. Thanks

 

It sounds like it's your display settings causing the problem. Right click on the desktop and select properties, then select the settings tab. I'm guessing here, you might have to experiment a little, set color to highest and then resolution for win98 600x800.

Matacumbie--ya did it again. Many thanks. Only question is how the settings were changed? I run SpyBot, Lavasoft AdAware, plus have AVG free.

 

Good deal.

Glad you got it fixed my friend. Don't know why, seems to happen with Win98 more than other operating systems. I have heard that sometimes just a restart will fix it. Who knows......it's windows.
