When I booted up my computer (Hewlett Packard/WinME) low and behold, for no reason at all my display was set to 16bit color and 640x480 resolution, and no mouse control at all. I have figured out that the mouse problem was caused by my vmouse.vxd file going M.I.A. i have replaced that from my CAB files using msconfig. Whenever i change the display settings, Windows automatically requests to be restarted, regardless of the setting to apply without restart. When i try to change the setting as to how to prompt when the new display settings are applied i get the following error. "There is not enough memory to run the file deskcp16.dll. Please close other windows and try again" I have managed to find One referance about this problem but it was located at a French website ( http://www.hoaxbuster.com/hliste/avril/04yahooavis1.html towards the bottom look for "Keul - Strasbourg") Any assistance you could supply me with would be greatly appreciated I am using Norton Internet Security 2002 w/ an active Firewall. I constantly update my virus software every week running Norton AntiVirus v 8.07.17c Phillip

Thank you for your reply. I was hoping that there would be another way to fix it, but i tried your suggestion, and it did indeed fix the problem. There were no viruses found, so i hope it wont occur again in three days (which is how far back i went). Thanks again Phillip
