Windows Forum / Windows 98 / General Topics / May 2006Display error -problem with settings
have WIN98SE on a Compaq P3. Used an Envision LCD monitor on it for a few months. Needed to switch with an Envision CRT monitor temporarily. Loaded the drivers for the CRT monitor, now during boot up I get the following error message " Display- There is a problem with your display settings. The adapter type is incorrect, or the settings do not work with your hardware" System comes up in 640x480 16 colors mode. Try to reset to 800x600 256 colors or up and it reboots but comes back with same error. Have unistalled and reinstalled the monitor driver and video driver. Have put the LCD monitor back on system that was working with it and still get same error. Any suggestions? Ron What is the video adapter display hardware? How have you identified it, and how did you identify the correct driver for it? What happened when you tried to install the video display adapter driver? In Device Manager, what is the current description for the video adapter and for the monitor?  SignatureJeff Richards MS MVP (Windows - Shell/User) > have WIN98SE on a Compaq P3.

This is the same description as has been on the machine since it was acquired. i assume it is the card that came in the computer when it was built. Again this machine with this video card worked for several months until I switched monitors from an Envision 7410 LCD to a Envision 710 CRT. the video card has not been changed.

SignatureJeff Richards MS MVP (Windows - Shell/User) > Jeff, > [quoted text clipped - 36 lines] >> > >> > Ron Jeff, Went into Safe Mode and removed video adapter from device manager and took all the video adapter programs out of add/remove programs. Rebooted and system installed default PCI VGA driver. This displays in 640x480 16 color mode, which doesn't tell me much because that is the same mode the system has been defaulting to with the problem. It just won't go to anything higher. I then had the system re-install the driver for the adapter in the system and am back to where I started from with the error message and the system display stuck in 640x480 mode.

Reboot to Safe Mode Open Device Manager Remove ALL Display Adapters Remove ALL Monitors Reboot to Normal Mode - Windows will reinstall the required drivers - hopefully curing your problem.

The point of that part of the process is to get you back to a known starting point, not to resolve the issue. It seems that your hardware driver needs a more complex installation procedure. Repeat the steps to get back to the standard VGA adapter, then follow the process Brian has described and see if the installation works better that way. SignatureJeff Richards MS MVP (Windows - Shell/User) > Jeff, > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > Ron Leave your machine as it is now with only the Standard VGA drivers installed. Create a new folder named DiamStealth or whatever you want on your desktop. Get the drivers for the card at: http://www.diamondmm.com/driversbefore912003.php In the 6th section with the head name Diamond Stealth, download filename - Stealth s5XX.exe. Save it the newly created folder and unzip/extract the files into the same folder. Open the folder named - STEALTH3 s5xx WIN9X 82021 4.12.01.0258. Open the folder named Install. Please carefully and fully read the ReadME.TXT for prior driver/software removal and installation procedure info. Install the drivers per the .txt file. SignatureBrian A.
