Monitor Driver
I had to re-install 98se due to my system being hijacked
by an ad-ware virus & now my monitor won't work right. Windows identified the device correctly the first time, but only showed one driver to use for it & now that I've tried to change it, it won't identify the monitor. I'm so confused! Trying to view websites & even my email is very difficult now. When I try to select a driver under the monitor tab on advanced settings, it shows me one list of "drivers" and when I try to select a driver under the adapter tab on advanced settings, it shows me a different list. I am totally lost! Can anyone help? |

What does "now my monitor won't work right." mean to you?
The adapter is your video card. "Fyrefly1985" wrote in message ... I had to re-install 98se due to my system being hijacked by an ad-ware virus & now my monitor won't work right.

I should say the display isn't like it used to be. I
managed to improve it by going to HP's website & downloading a better video card driver. Now web pages aren't pixilated & flashing anymore, but my desktop "theme" is still very pixilated. (Forgive my spelling, please) Also, I didn't have sound until I turned my computer on today, when for some unknown reason, it suddenly started working. Then it quit, now its working again. I also downloaded a better driver for the sound but since it isn't working all the time, I'm not sure I have the best possible setup. -----Original Message----- What does "now my monitor won't work right." mean to you?
