Title: monitor display problems
Post by: spittb on July 23, 2004, 09:50:36 AM

starting windows98, a weird messed up screen appears, with a big windows logo in the middle. then when i soft boot, windows starts and all desktop icons are huge. then i get message telling me about display problems. shows unknown display device. i soft boot again and then it's back to normal except any web graphics are messed up. done all adware, spyware, virus scans, checks out ok. what's going on?
thanks in advance.

You should install drivers for your videocard. They can be found on the manufactuers website.

We require more information if we are to help you.
