display settings
i'm running windows 98se. upon starting up windows after the load screen, my
monitor turns black and stays that way until i restart it. it will then restart in safe mode a display box with 'desktop' at the top pops us telling me that "problem could be caused by your network or hardware settings. make sure these settings are correct in Control Panel and then try starting windows again." when windows is loaded i am unable to change any settings in control panel under my display. however after restarting, windows loads in normal mode, and then another display box pops up telling me that my settings need to be changed and the Control Panel pops up allowing me to change my display settings. although when i try to change my display and restart my computer the same thing happens each time no matter which setting i put it on it always goes back to 16 colors 640x480 pixels. display: super VGA 800x600 on diamond viper v770/ viper v770 ultra. any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks! |

Instal or reinstal the most up to date Win98SE driver for your particular video card as displayed via / start / settings / control panel / system / device manager./ Display adapters Write down the filepath to the driver. Method A is to remove all video drivers that appear and reboot, hoping Windows will prompt you to instal it. Method B is to use the /device manager / [exact name] panel marked / Driver / Update. Post results here. -- Don Phillipson Carlsbad Springs (Ottawa, Canada) |

If your driver for this is not the latest or if you do not have the disks to
reinstall the driver, then I suggest that you download the driver from Diamondmm.com. To install this driver, you probably need to change the driver to Standard VGA (Control Panel, Display) and then run the exe file that you download. The exe file will probably run the installation for the card. In some cases, the files are simply extracted to a folder on your drive but in others, when the extraction process completes, the installation automatically starts. Here's the link to Diamond Multimedia Drivers & Support: http://www.diamondmm.com/driversbefore912003.php Click PC Compatible computers video cards, then scroll to the bottom of the page to find the Viper 770 driver download.
