"garbled display" -- also
Hi,
When I am trying to download a bigger file (say maybe 7 or 10MB), what happens on my Windows 98 system, is that the screen goes dark, after it has been downloading for a while, which I would imagine is normal to happen-- which I would imagine is the screen saving sort of function; but when I move the mouse again, to get the screen going again, the screen lights up again, but seems to "freeze up"/ be garbled ie if I can try to hopefully describe what the screen looks like -- it gets covered in a sort of grey screen -- all across, or sometimes, just part of the screen. It appears that the computer is still operating; that the computer has not frozen, but just that now, you cannot see what is going on, on the screen. So you have to restart. What I think I may have done (?) once, is accidentally, to have reset a setting for my display, on "My Computer", "Control Panel", "Display" ie I hope/don't think my computer is actually broken -- but I can't seem to find, if that is the case, which setting to set back. I have tried to reset the number of pixels; that doesn't seem to be right; I've tried the screen saver settings; but I still get the problem sometimes it seems -- it was ok for a while (I think) when I changed the screen saver to another one; but that appears to only have lasted for a while, and I'm getting this problem again. So I really don't know what to do here. And it's essentially preventing me from downloading bigger files, because the screen freezes up. So I'm sort of praying that there might be a way of being able to fix it ? Could you help ? |
