Default display compatibility problem

I did a system snapshot using Dr Watson and the diagnosis
was :NVIDIA compatible Windows 95/98 Display driver,
version 3.77does not appear to be a windows 95plug-and-
play compatible driver. What do I do to fix it?

Determine the exact video display adapter you have (if you don't already
know) and then locate the proper driver for it. You may have received a
driver disk with your PC or video card. This assumes of course that you are
having some display related problem.

Yes I am having problems. When I read text, it looks like
I smear the ink across the screen. I have NVIDIA GeForce
256 AGP (Dell) and I think it is onthe Dell resourceCD.

It should be--you can also check the Dell web site for an updated driver. I
would boot to safe mode and go to control panel, system, device manager and
see if there is any problem indicated with the display adapter. If there
are duplicate entries, delete all and reboot. Once in normal mode, try
reinstalling the driver on your resource CD or an updated one if available.
