I
think that's your problem.
Perhaps somebody else will be along and post here, to explain the proper way to determine the right settings. There probably is a right way to go about it, based on the specs of your monitor and video card.
I too have and use Win98. Its an older computer.
Me... I'd make note of those current settings.
Then I'd experiment.
When I got it where I liked it, I'd note that too.
For what it is worth, I use High Color 16 bit and 800x600 .
i'm on a gateway by the way.
If there have been no modifications made to the computer - in other words, it uses the same video card that it was manufactured with - and you post the model number to identify your computer, then perhaps someone here might be able to help you find the proper settings.
i tried going into dos and scanreg/restore. but all the dates are from years ago. i might have to live with funky colors and fonts.
i'm off to work. thank you.
If you decide to experiment with those settings, post back and let us know your results.
