Desktop Icons
My Icons also other color graphics etc. appear like I am
looking through a screen (as in window screen) at them. Not clear and sharp. This is a Pentium 3 running windows 98 se. Have reinstalled windows, run Norton Works 2004, run the driver disk that came with the Mother Board, tried adusting system settings no help. Not sure when it happened but it originaly was working fine. This is my back up computer that keeps me from withdrawal symptoms when main computer is down. Anyone have any help. thanks bob e |

Hi,
This usually indicates that there is an incorrect video driver installed. Here's some information on replacing the video driver. Tip: Go to Start - Run and type Msconfig and press enter. On the General Tab click advanced, and make sure "VGA 640x480x16 is NOT checked before continuing. To correct this you will first have to identify the video card installed. That may include checking documentation, contacting the system manufacturer, or opening the box and looking for identifying marks on a video card or video chip on the mother board. Some systems will display the Video Adapter information on the top of the screen when the system first boots up. Some manufacturers displays a logo screen that may cover this information. It may be able to be removed temporarily by pressing the ESC key when the logo first appears. Once the Video card has been identified, go to the manufactures web site, download and install the latest video driver and install it as per there instructions. Or the system may have shipped with a video card driver it can also be used. -- Regards, Bert Kinney [MS-MVP DTS] http://dts-l.org/ How to Configure Outlook Express for Internet News: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=171164 You wrote My Icons also other color graphics etc. appear like I am looking through a screen (as in window screen) at them.
