Can anyone help me?!
I've recently got Windows ME installed but the displays' all wrong. Instead of smooth colour images, my screen is made up of dots! I've been into Control Panel, Display, and Settings but the only option I have is 16 Colors. What can I do? Laura |

Sounds like your Display Adapter driver is no longer being properly
recognised, is incorrectly set-up, or is corrupted. Boot into Safe Mode and in Device Manager, 'Remove' any/all Display Adapters and Monitors and then re-boot. WinMe *should* re-detect (Plug&Play) your video card and monitor and then should install the 'correct' drivers. If it still doesn't help, you'll need to install the latest WinMe driver for your Video Card (Adapter) which you should be available to download from the card manufacturers web site.

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 "laura" wrote in message ...
