Cannot see windows 98 second edition on monitor
I recently purchased a new computer. When I reconnected my old computer to
my monitor to transfer files I got the following error message "If you can read this message Windows has successfully initialized this adapter. I researched the problem in the help section and it defined the problem as a video adapter install by ATI All in One Wonder that does not allow my monitor to be viewed properly. The instructions for fixing the problem tell me to go to start etc, however I cannot see anything other than the error message so cannot get see the screen to fix it. How can I view the screen to get rid of this problem? Thank you for your help. |

Cannot see windows 98 second edition on monitor
Boot to Safe Mode by pressing/holding down the ctrl key or continually
tapping F8 immediately after booting when the POST screen appears. This will get you to the Startup Menu where you select Safe Mode. Once in safe Mode: Right click on MyComputer. Click Properties Device Manager tab. Expand Display Adapters and delete any/all devices listed. Close out and reboot. Windows will redetect/reinstall the video display drivers. If the wrong drivers are installed and the issue reappears, make sure you have the proper drivers for the video adapter installed. Go back to Safe Mode and remove the Display devices again and reboot. If given the choice do not let Windows install the drivers, instead choose to install from a location. In the window for "Where to search/get the drivers from" use the Browse button to get to the path where you have the folder with the drivers located and select it. Continue with the install following the instructions on the screen. -- Brian A.

You have connected the monitor to the wrong video port. Look for a second
identical video connector and change the monitor cable over. -- Jeff Richards MS MVP (Windows - Shell/User) "Margaret" wrote in message ... I recently purchased a new computer.
