Monitor works fine while comp starts up...until it trys
to run windows. Screen goes blank.. Works in safe
mode....Also works if plugged into my win 98 laptop. The
monitor is an older one. This problem started after total
war viking invasion was unistalled. Have tried
re-installing Win98me. Have 16 color / 640X480 option
only.
Thanks.

try this....
Reboot to Safe Mode
Open Device Manager
Remove ALL Display Adapters
Remove ALL Monitors
Reboot to Normal Mode - Windows will reinstall the required drivers -
hopefully curing your problem.
