I have an old gateway desktop that was given to me. I use it as a TV where I work. About a week ago it stopped loading. I would see the gateway logo and then the windows screen would come up and had lots of streaks that looked like rain through it. then it would go to a green screen and not do anything. I couldn't even go in in safe mode. So I re-installed windows 98 from the rescue disk. It still wouldn't load, but I got in through the safe mode and took out some of the files that were locking up the virus disk like video games and accounting software. I finally got it to work without safe mode, but it asks everytime I turn it on which mode to start in. When I tried to change the screen resolution and color settings, it always goes back to the 16-bit 640 X 480.
Any ideas? Thanks.
