Default problem with image on screen

Sure hope someone can help me. The Image that comes on my
screen on start up looks as if it is on safe mode, but is
not. have even used back up to try and restore since
system restore didnt help. Went to download Scanner
application that quit working and disapeared somewhere in
my comp and had to ctrl+alt+del because download for
scanner wouldnt finish loading , now my screen's picture
is large and faded as if on safe mode, but is not safe
mode.

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.

HTH and good luck

Mart

Duh?? - that makes no sense that I can see?? -or have I just had one too
many???
Ah - I see now - you're referring to the advice I gave John.
Fortunately Mart has already posted quite adequate advice to the OP - which
hopefully will do the trick.
(now to respond to John, who I'd almost forgotten about!)
