Display Properties hang
I've researched this problem and there seems to be little information
for it.I am running Win98 SE and suddenly when I try to change the color scheme in Display Properties, it hangs. Plus! also hangs when I try to change themes. The graphic will change but not the windows colors. Both trys shows a blinking curser and Ctrl Alt Delete shows the programs are not responding. I did have 2 virus that may have changed some registry entries. I don't remember what they were but my computer was cleared with Norton Antivirus. My display and video drivers are up to date. Any ideas would be apreciated. Thanks, Renee |

I would boot into safe mode and open the control panel, system, device
manager. Remove all entries from display adapter and reboot. Then install the display adapter driver and see if that helps. -- Regards Ron Badour, MS MVP for W98 Tips: http://home.satx.rr.com/badour Knowledge Base Info: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=kbinfo "LadyLunaSea" wrote in message oups.com...

Since you use NAV:
Open NAV. Click Reports Quarantined items. If anything is in quarantine, right click the item and select Properties. Check Symantec's site for details of the named item. -- Brian A.

Thank you for answering, Ron. I'm afraid that didn't help. I really
feel that some kind of registry key has changed. I also tried extracting Desk.cpl. That didn't help either. Regards, Renee |

Display Properties hang
Hi Brian,
I wish I could do that but I've had a very difficult time with the Systemworks installation. Having had to instal and re-install 4 times so that information was lost to me. It's a shame because I've used Symantec products since the DOS days that it was PcTools. They are just not as reliable as they use to be. I'm still having problems getting all the scans to work properly in WinDoctor but I'm not going through all that again anytime soon. BTW this problem with my display/appearance started before I installed systemworks so that's not the problem either but I thank you for your reply. Regards, Renee |

Renee I want to add for research purposes for anyone that may need it that I also did a scan at Trenco and found these known grayware/spywares: ADW_SE.123481 ADW_SE.12378 ADW_SE.12377 ADW_SE.12375 ADW_SE.12373 Now I will do another scan to see if they are in fact removed. Hope this helps. |
