only 640x480 resolution after failed tv card installation
Hi
I'm using W98 first edition and was happy with 1024 x 768 resolution using a video card that has these things written on it: P/N 1024022922 000013 AMC ver 2.0 ATI 3D 1998 ATI Technology Ltd and Rage Pro Turbo AGP on one of the chips, together with an old Samtron 8514/A Comp vdu. I tried, mistakenly obviously, to install a V-Stream TV-PVR PCI tv card, even though the minimum requirements include W98 SE. The installation failed, and it kinda wrecked my setup. Now, I can only get 640x480 and the next one up to work, I can't get back to 1024 x 768. If I try it, I get heavy horizontal line interference. I've found the original ATI discs and I've used their installation to get the right drivers. I've tried a few alternative drivers too, including simple Super VGA. What I haven't done is try to re-install W98. I'm trying to avoid that. I've also started to get, at the end of startup: WebProxy, this program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down, etc. I did notice WebProxy running previously and wondered what it was. I have checked with an Anti-Virus and with Ad-Aware. Also, I'm not convinced that all of V-Stream has gone. Uninstall didn't remove it from the menu so I used Windows add/remove programs to do it. Finally, the V-Stream installation didn't go right in the first place, there are two product options and I installed the wrong one first. I don't think I need detailed instructions about what to do .. what I'm missing is a direction to head in. I'm pretty knowledgeable about computers generally (I've a degree in Internet Computing), but I concentrate on that area, not on Windows OS, so I've never messed around with the registry or anything like that. I have ordered a W98 troubleshooting book. You see where I'm at? I need a strategic direction for what to do next. Or, obviously, a solution, if you know it :-) Any clues? J |

This is starting to look like a coincidental hardware failure. I've
tried to install Linux and it's giving the same interference pattern. J |

First try booting to Safe Mode and check Add/Remove for anything that =
may be present regarding the adapters/cards and uninstall Next in Device Manager remove any/all video adapter/s including the TV = device. Safe Mode will show duplicates that are not present in Normal = Mode that cause problems. After removing the devices close out and = shutdown. Physically remove the TV card so it is not redetected by = Windows when you reboot. Update any drivers as needed. If that does not work, you may be able to restore one of the registry = backups prior to the date of the problem.

John, I can't help with the rest of your problem, but do you have a
Panda AV installed? WebProxy is a Panda Antivirus Titanium Internet Resident File. It wants internet access, and email download fails if you don't allow it. It insists on sitting there on the connection tab (ZoneAlarmPro), listening. I don't give it Server rights. It, and other Panda aps sometimes give errors and get shut down. Running a repair by double-clicking the Setup.exe and choosing repair will usually fix it. Panda is an excellent AV App, but a resource hog. charlie R "John" wrote in message om...
