After downloading the new McAfee updates and the latest MS security updates, I cannot boot up and have my display must be set to 640x480 to see anything. I have an Nvidia diamond viper 32 MB Ultra v770d adapter. If I boot up after setting display to 640x480 I get a message saying video adapter incorrect or display will not work with current settings. Help! I have Windows 98SE.

boot to DOS and do a scanreg /restore...pick a day before it was jacked up.

what do you to fix the problem, fatal exception to od?

After completing reply #1 , go here : http://www.helponthe.net/news/042000.html OR ** Periodic Hard Drive Maintenance ** To troubleshoot and avoid: ·Illegal Operations, Invalid Page Faults, Lockups/Freezeups, the following steps can be used, regardless of the program (and whether Microsoft product or not) that causes the fault. Use them under Windows 95, 98, or NT. If you use your PC regularly, take these steps every week or every other week. 1. Close all programs. 2. Hit Start-Find-Files or Folders. In the Named box, type the following exactly as it appears (but it is not case-sensitive), and without any spaces: *.tmp,~*.* Make sure the Look-In box contains the hard drive from which your applications run, usually (C:). Make sure the Include Subfolders checkbox is checked. Hit Find Now. When the little magnifying glass stops, searching has completed and you can see how many files were found at the bottom of the dialog box. If you feel bad about having so many, the author's record on a user's PC is 6,600, though less than a hundred is typical. On your keyboard, hold your Ctrl key down and hit the letter "a"; this selects all the files that were found. Hit your delete key and say Yes when asked if you want to send all the files to the recycle bin. If you are asked if you are sure you want to delete a file because it is a program that you will not be able to run again, or because it is a read-only file, say Yes. Program files do not start with a squiggly line (~ it's called a tilde - till-duh), nor do they end with "tmp." If you are unable to delete some of the files, hit Ctrl-Alt-Delete and End Task on everything in the list EXCEPT Explorer and Systray. (It is okay to End Task on your antivirus software because you will be rebooting your PC, which should restart your antivirus software again.) Once you have ended all of the tasks (except Explorer and Systray), try selecting (ctrl-a) and deleting the files again. It is usually okay to leave several files in there if you are unable to delete them. Close the Find Files window when you are done. 3. Empty your recycle bin. Shortcut: right-click the recycle bin and hit Empty Recycle Bin. 4. Run Scandisk (not for NT users), should take a minute or two. Hit Start-Programs-Accessories-System Tools-Scandisk. Make sure the hard drive is selected (usually C:), do a Standard test (run a Thorough test the first time and every few months), and check the Automatically Fix Errors box. The first time you run Scandisk, hit the Advanced button and make sure that Display Summary is set to Always and hit OK. Then hit Start to run Scandisk. Close the Scandisk report after it is displayed (and after you've read it--and hopefully there were 0 bytes in bad sectors), then close Scandisk itself. 5. Reboot your PC (you're not getting out of this one, NT users). About once a month, run Defrag (not for NT users). This is best performed at the end of the steps above, but particularly if you have installed, uninstalled, or reinstalled any programs, or if you have added a lot of files to your hard drive or deleted a lot of files from your hard drive. Just make sure you close all programs first. Hit Start-Programs-Accessories-System Tools-Disk Defragmenter. Run it on the C: drive. The author suggests running it regardless of Windows' suggestion. Reboot your PC after running Defrag. Fast Defrag: Yes the WIN Me defrag works at warp speed in both 95B and 98SE systems and probably 95's on FAT 16 and WIN 98FE as well. You can read about it and download it from here: http://www.potentproducts.com/newsletter/022.html Scroll down to article on WIN Me and the download link is about in the middle. Also see post# 60309
