Turned on the box this morning and instead of normal functions the screen
looked like it was going to start in safe mode. You know that greyish kinda
fuzzy look and the icons much larger than normal. I checked to see if the
Accessibility had somehow changed and then opened display in the control
settings to check screen size and well it definetly had changed and when I
tried several times to change it back was unsuccessful. It would tell me to
restart my box for the new settings to take and every time I tried it
reverted to:16 Colors  and 640  x  480 pixels.
My regular machine is in for repairs so I am using my backup DELL XPS
1 gig Intel Pentium 3  60 gig Hard Drive  256 meg memory  running Windows
ME build 4.90.3000   I keep up on virus and spyware protection and do
regular scans. I use Avast and Sygate all the time. I also scan with Trend
Micro ,Panda and AOL from time to time. Hopefully I have provided the info
needed to help me unscrew this problem!!  Thanks in advance!
Later.Mike
