Display Prompt
Hi,
Whenever I start W98 a prompt comes up, "Display Control" Windows cannot use the display setting you have choisen. If I X it out everything works fine, I have tried changing resolution/colors etc. Any suggestions would be appreciated. |

Display Prompt
Go to Start, Run and type: Msconfig
Check Selective Startup Remove the check from Load startup group items and click OK Now restart when prompted and see if the message about the display problem is gone. It sounds to me like you have a third party utility that is loading at startup and giving you this message. If the message is gone after you restart, go back to Msconfig and click the Startup tab and look for the culprit. If you don't recognize it, check a few boxes, then reboot until the message returns and then try to determine which caused the error to return. You may then want to go to Control Panel, add remove programs and see if it's on the list of things that you can remove. PattyL "Bert" wrote in message ...
