FOF,

Sounds like you need to run your recover program from your installation disk.

Are you using WIN98? If so, you need to have a startup disk and your CD with the WIN98 install programs. Shouldn't be too hard to fix it.

Hi F or F, I think the registry file on your computer is in poor shape, that is the file that normally gets corrupted. When you say that normal, looks like the safe mode. I think you mean you have the large screen, with the ugly colors, but it does not say (safe mode) in all four corners. I think windows loss track of what graphic card you have. You probably need to find a professional at this point. Tell him/her what type of files you want to keep. They should be able to get that data. Then they should reformat the hard drive, that removes every thing on it. Then put the windows back on the computer, and your programs, and all drivers for your hardware. A lot of the store bought computers have a disk that will do that for you. But remember you will lose all your data files, so you need to get them first.
