Pc keeps detecting devices already installed
 

I have Win 98 se and every time I restart my pc Windows detects new hardware.
Usually it is the monitor, I just click cancel, but I had to remove several
instances of the monitor under device manager. Also, on start up, the initial
black screen in DOS which lists installed devices, I have two exact listings
of my cd-rom device. How do I correct this? I have a Packard Bell Legend
Supreme 1985 pc w/ 333 AMD K6-2 processor that has 3DNow! technology and I
recieve error messages that no 3d devices are detected when trying to run
some screensavers. Any advice for any of the above problems will be greatly
appreciated. Thanks.

I suggest that you boot in safe mode and where there are duplicate devices
in device manager, delete ALL the devices. Then reboot and let Windows
redetect the devices.

DOS or BIOS screen?

You may need Direct X.
