Display Adapter Problem
Kazaa is Peer to Peer (P2P) software, which is often used to share music on
the internet. The errors you are receiving indicate that Spyware is on your PC. "Almost Bob" posted two links to free software that will remove the Spyware for you. You need to download and run those programs. Joe "Daniel Rose" wrote in message ... Joe, I never heard of Kazaa. Is it something I should have that would help? Daniel Joe727 wrote: Did you have Kazaa installed? Joe "Daniel Rose" wrote in message ... Thank you very much, Joe. In the "Select Device" table there were three choices. I selected "S3 Inc. ViRGE PCI". The other choices were "S3 Inc. ViRGE/DX/GX/ PCI" and "S3 Inc. ViRGE/VX PCI". The display is working much better now, in 16-bit color at 800x600 resolution. There are still a few problems. When the computer starts up, the Desktop wallpaper shows. Then a box displays reading: RUNDLL Error loading C:\WINDOWS\NEWDOT~1.DLL The system cannot find the file specified. Then there is another box reading: Error Resource file not founded. Program killed. Near this point the screen goes dark for about 15 seconds. After that everything seems OK. Would there be anything else I can try? When my computer was first set up under Windows 95, it had drivers for Number Nine. Windows 98 has drivers for that.

Display Adapter Problem
Thank you, Joe and Almost Bob. I ran Ad-Aware and I no longer receive
the NEWDOT~1.DLL error. However, at startup, I still get a box reading: "Error Resource file not founded. Program killed" It's really no problem. I just click "OK" and everything is fine. Is there anything I can do to get rid of this error, though? I have already run System File Checker and Registry Checker. --Daniel Joe727 wrote: Kazaa is Peer to Peer (P2P) software, which is often used to share music on the internet.

I don't know what that error message refers to. Maybe someone else will
come along who does. Joe "Daniel Rose" wrote in message ... Yes, it is. Thank you, Daniel Joe727 wrote: That is the entire error message? Joe "Daniel Rose" wrote in message ...
