Problems with Display after startup
HELP! I'm not sure what the problem is, but on my son's
computer (Win ME) the display is bizarre after startup. The background is white, and there are patches of color in a tiled pattern all over. Cannot see any icons or anything else. When we boot in safe mode, the background is fine, all program icons and folders/files are visible, programs are all usable, but we can't get past this in normal mode. Any help you can offer would be much appreciated. Many thanks! |

Sounds like your Display Adapter driver is no longer being properly
recognised, is incorrectly set-up, or is corrupted. Boot into Safe Mode and in Device Manager, 'Remove' any/all Display Adapters and Monitors and then re-boot. WinMe *should* re-detect (Plug&Play) your video card and monitor and then should install the 'correct' drivers. If it still doesn't help, you'll need to install the latest WinMe driver for your Video Card (Adapter) which you should be available to download from the card manufacturers web site.

I guess it must have worked then! g
You're welcome Stevie and thanks for the feedback. It's good to know when these fixes work, as they don't always work for everybody. Mart "Stevie" wrote in message ... Brilliant! You rock!
