Display 'grainy' like safe mode
Me again. Had to use the rescue disks and now the screen
display is grainy, like its in safe mode, but its not. Also boxes etc are not lining up properly but off centred and not sitting/fitting right, and there's too much info on the page, so I have to scroll sideways back and forth to read it. Any ideas, please. |

Best guess you need to change your Display Properties:
ControlPanel/Display/Settings Increase both Screen Resolution and Colour Depth. Then right-click on the Desktop, choose ArrangeIcons/whatever. Rick Suz wrote: Me again.

Display 'grainy' like safe mode
Thanks, Rick but the slider wont budge, its stuck at 640x
480 16 colour, when I try to move the default monitor to 800x600 it will not stay there but reverts back as above. Any ideas??? -----Original Message----- Best guess you need to change your Display Properties: ControlPanel/Display/Settings Increase both Screen Resolution and Colour Depth.

How about Removing the Default Monitor from DeviceManager and rebooting,
Windows should pick it up and install the right one.

Reboot to Safe Mode
Open Device Manager Remove ALL Display Adapters Remove ALL Monitors Reboot to Normal Mode - Windows will reinstall the required drivers - hopefully curing your problem. -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2004, Win9x) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/millsrpch.htm Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's or http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/f.../Mar27pmvp.asp "Suz" wrote in message ...
