Windows 98 screen properties/settings no longer responds
Hi everybody,
I have a Windows 98 second edition, the screen was originally set to 800 x 600 pixels. It happened around a month ago that as I started my computer, the windows 98 stopped responding. Therefore, I restarted the computer on the safe mode, went to help-troubleshooting, and did as per directions of "My computer stops responding when I try to start Windows 98." After restarting the computer, I could not get back my original screen settings, 800 x 600 with 256 colors. I could not figure out the problem. I tried restoring backup files. My autoexec. bat looked empty. I thought may be my autoexec.bat got overwritten or something; therefore, I copied autoexec.ths (not sure) on to autoexec.bat. My screen settings remain at 640 x 480 pixels with 16 colors. Everytime, I try changing the settings, it prompts for restarting, and after restarting, it remains all the same. Reading and typing have become difficult because of the screen. I not sure what all I lost, but some voice files were not functional after that. Some codex files needed to play those files had disappeared, which I had to reinstall from a CD disk. Also, the automatic monitor shut off has remained nonfunctional. I tried asking a few people, but none of them seem to have an answer or even of heard of such a thing. Look forward on to your kind help. God bless you! Philip |
