Hello listers, Recently when I boot my computer,it boots to a blank (black) screen with an hourglass at the center .Upon hitting Ctrl-Alt-Del computer reboots allowing me to boot to safe mode.In safe mode I hit start>shut down>restart and in most of the cases computer boots to a normal screen.Sometimes it boots to a screen with a changed display settings(both the color and screen area).I have to reset it.I have Win98SE.In fact I reinstalled (Clean reinstall) it a week ago or so.What seems to be the problem?Any help will be appriciated.Thanks.
