Help help help!
I just started my computer - Win98SE (second-user Compaq Armada 1700 laptop, PII233, 64MB RAM, still under the second-hand computer place's warranty I think) and the display was a little square in the centre of the screen and the colours were all wrong! (lowest res, 256 colours)
I've put everything back how it was - but how did it go like that in the first place? All I did last time I used my computer was do Scan Disk, Defrag and download an update for AVG. Though actually I did all that because I'd tried to shut down and it had got stuck on "Windows is shutting down" then when I switched it off then on again it switched itself off while loading and when I tried again it said Windows was *unable to load* last time, did I want to try Safe Mode? I didn't (can't remember why) and it carried on fine.
Come to think of it though, pressing the power button to switch on didn't work first time a couple of days ago...
The screengrab thingy attached is actual size.
Can anybody help?
Thanks.
