I recently did a complete reformat, reinstall of everything in order to do a clean install of Windows 98 SE. After the reinstall I had to drop my video acceleration to basic, otherwise I would lock-up without notice. Yesterday, I downloaded and installed all the newest VIA drivers (had previously installed the older ones), and no difference. I also removed and re-installed powerdesk (latest version). Now if I turn acceleration all the way up (windows display control panel), when the computer reboots, I have a distorted screen that shows about 6 of everything on the desktop and is garbled. So I have to drop the acceleration down again. It is now also doing something else weird. When I boot (we have 2 puters networked at home) and the windows log-in screen comes up, it is at 640x480, but once I log-on, it reverts back to my 1024x768. I read to disable some features in powerdesk, however when I try to open powerdesk, I get a message saying that either I am in safe mode, etc. and that it is not loaded. I have tried reinstalling again and again to no avail. HELP!!!
