3 split monitor screen
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. Mart "leemsbbe" wrote in message ...

3 split monitor screen
3 split screens? Please explain. Are you saying that you get three
separate images of your desktop on the monitor? Try reinstalling your video drivers. First boot to Safe Mode, open the Device Manager and delete all entries relating to your graphics adapter. Reboot back in to Normal Mode and let Win Me redetect your hardware and reinstall your video drivers. Now configure by selecting the appropriate resolution and colour depth. If this doesn't resolve the problem check either the Dell site or the graphics adapter's manufacturer's web site for updated Win Me compatible video drivers. If located, download and install. -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP Windows leemsbbe wrote: After a clean system recovery for my dell dimension, install the drivers from the dell cd, I get a 3 split screen on the monitor upon reboot.

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 "Mart" wrote: Is the display any better if you boot into Safe Mode (albeit in 640 x 480, 256 colours)?

3 split monitor screen
Yes, I have 3 separate images of desktop on the monitor. I tried again,
deleting all the adapter/monitor in SM and reboot. It redetect the driver and its back to square one, still 3 separate images of desktop on the monitor and they are not overlapping. Will look up at Dell's or graphic website.... thanks "Mike M" wrote: 3 split screens? Please explain. Are you saying that you get three separate images of your desktop on the monitor?

16MB ATI Rage 128 Ultra?
Can't find 'Ultra' but you could try here for starters for 'WinMe Drivers and Software' https://support.ati.com/ics/support/...ge&folderID=27 Mart "leemsbbe" wrote in message ...

3 split monitor screen
What resolution are you setting? It could be that you are trying to
exceed the capabilities of either or both of your card and monitor. Try dropping the resolution back and see if that resolves the problem. -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP Windows leemsbbe wrote: Yes, I have 3 separate images of desktop on the monitor.

3 split monitor screen
Resolution is at 800x600 and 256 colours.
Split screen does not exist when I use a different monitor, so I guess it is save to assume that the monitor is the problem. Will try to confirm it with other pc. ......thanks "Mike M" wrote: What resolution are you setting?

3 split monitor screen
Are the three images different colours? In which case this would suggest
the guns are out of alignment on the monitor. Since you've now demonstrated the problem is with the monitor it looks like now's the time for a shopping trip, either that or a visit to eBay. g -- Mike Maltby leemsbbe wrote: Resolution is at 800x600 and 256 colours.

The 3 images are of the same colour, in fact identical to each other. Will
see if it works on other pc if I get the chance..... thanks "Mike M" wrote: Are the three images different colours? In which case this would suggest the guns are out of alignment on the monitor.
