Need to reinstall the Display software
 
I have worked out that the drivers and software that control the Display (in
Control Panel) need to be reloaded.

I have not been able to find a way where I can reload this part of the
operating system.

Presumably you are having problems with the display on your monitor - e.g.
colour and/or screen resolution (size) issues, which you can't resolve in
the 'Display | Settings' panel.

If so, this usually means your video drivers have become corrupted or
damaged and you'll have to re-install your video drivers :-

Boot into Safe Mode and in Device Manager, 'Remove' any/all Display Adapters
and Monitors and then re-boot. WinMe *should* re-detect (Plug and Play)
your video card and monitor, and should install the 'correct' original
drivers.

This should allow you to reset you display to your required settings.

N.B. - Be sure that you have a 'fresh' copy of the video drivers (often
supplied on a supplementary CD, supplied with your PC) or download the
'latest' WinMe drivers from your video card manufacturers web site.

Good luck

Sorry Mart.
That is not my problem.
I cannot get into the Power Saving Settings.
Once I have opened the DISPLAY program from Contro Panel, there are a number
of tabs along the top.
Go to "ScreenSaver" and there are 2 sections.
Bottom section is "Energy Saving features of monitor", here there is a
button "Settings". When I click this button, nothing happens as the software
(or module) is no longer working.

Darren, I don't have WinMe working here at the moment - I'm running XP which
has slightly different settings - so I can't replicate, but it could well be
worth trying my previous suggestion anyway. This *might just be* a driver
issue and re-installing them could help. Nothing lost in trying.
