Hi, I really need help here with my PC. A few days ago, the startup menu appeared when I turned my PC on, for apparantly no reason. I chose Normal Startup.
When Windows booted up, the display was in 640x480 mode with 16 colours, and I couldn't change it, and still can't. When I try and change it, it says the PC must be restarted for changes to take effect, so I click OK on that and when it comes back on it didn't change from the previous setting no matter how many time I tried.
My video card had become a generic card as well for some reason (It's an 8mb Trident Blade btw), so I downloaded new drivers for it but it has made no difference.
In the Device List it says the Advanced Power Management isn't working properly, but the best drivers are already installed.
A password box has also started appearing on every startup and I can't seem to change any system settings and have the changes actually count, it always goes back to what it was previously.
I am running Windows 98 SE and I've reinstalled it over my previous copy, but still no change. I'm at my wits end here and I don't know how to fix it. Could anyone give me any advice as to what is going on and how I can fix these problems, or am I screwed? Help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks.
