Hi
Previously I posted about losing the my screen resolution going from
1024 x 768 pixels to 640 x 480 pixels quite often. It was suggested that
the CMOS battery might be bad, but am still losing it after replacing the
battery, the resolution will change even when just restarting the computer.
I have gone into system properties and gone to device manager and deleted
display adapters, also under sounds video and game adapter and deleted the
video driver for mpact and also have deleted the mpact media processor with
little or no luck. Have reinstalled Mpact etc. I have done this numerous
times with little or no success. I was lucky have go back on the computer
and it has helped a few times. I have checked for viruses, trojans and ran
Norton System Works all with negative results. All of this seems to have
started when I installed 98SE because I had purchased an external WD 120 gig
HD which needed 98 SE and an updated USB driver. I read someplace where 98
SE is sometimes a destabilizing factor but have done all the MS updates etc.
Anyone got any tips I might try? As it is I feel that the only thing
left to do is Alt, control delete and format HD and start all over (grin) Or
buy a new computer!
Hate to do it but as I see it now it is the only alternative. I went to
PCPitstop.com and the computer crashed even Norton does not do the HD
integrity check so there is a definite problem.
