video background question

[ron]

Have two computers running WIN98SE. On one everytime i click on Windows
Explorer to look at folders, the background of the display gets real
grainy, then comes back to normal resolution when i get out of Windows
Explorer. The other computer doesn't do it at all. I even changed
monitors and video cards but it still did the same thing. Any ideas?

Not a big problem, just an annoyance.

Right-click the desktop and choose Properties and Settings. Compare the
number of colours for each machine. The effect you describe can be caused by
running the display with a limited number of colours available.
