Screen area slider won't move

I recently have re-installed Microsoft Win 98 Second Ed.
and after installing I re-installed my dsl service with my
provider, but now my picture quality within my screen is
dicey. Nothing is crisp, picture wise. The screen slider
in the Display area won't slide. I went to the
support.microsoft troubleshooting section and followed the
instructions to correct this, but the problem remains. If
their is something corrupted can you pls help me to
correct the problem.

If you just reinstalled Windows, or you cannot change to 256, 16 bit, or 32
bit color, you probably need to reinstall your video card drivers.

To reinstall your video card drivers, you need to know the exact make and
model of your video card in order to install the correct/updated drivers.

There are several ways to determine what kind of video card you have.

1. Check the manual that came with your PC.

2. You can open your PC tower to look at the video card and note the name
and numbers printed on it.

3. You can download and run this free program. It might be able to
determine what kind of video card you have:
