Default 3 split monitor screen

In Safe Mode, I can change the resaolution and colours. In SM, I deleted all
the adapters (which read as 16MB ATI Rage 128 Ultra) and all the monitor
(read as default). Upon reboot in Normal mode, it still give a 3 split
monitor screen with the same details for the adapter and monitor. (I install
the driver fron the cd that comes with the dell pc). Guess need to look for
the latest driver....... thanks

Is the display any better if you boot into Safe Mode (albeit in 640 x 480,
256 colours)? (To boot into Safe Mode, press & hold the Shift Key
throughout the boot process.)

If so, sounds like a driver issue. Try Removing all display adapters :-

Control Panel / System / Device Manager select and 'Remove' ALL references
to your Display Adapters (and Monitors).

Re-boot and let WinMe re-detect (plug&play) your Display Adapter etc. and
install
the (latest) WinMe drivers for your card.

N.B. You should confirm that you do have the latest WinMe drivers for your
Video card by checking on the manufactures web site.
