sramesh... as slatibartfast quite rightly points out, you will still need the updated video card drivers... driver might be corrupt - nice new drivers better (the mice in glasses nod their heads)

Hi,<br />
<br />
strange things happening on a pc with windows98 SE<br />
Sometimes, at startup, het desktop shows unreadable signs for icons.<br />
Also the startmenu is unreadable.<br />
<br />
The problem is solved as soon as i start a dos-box, and put it on full screen, then close the box.<br />
After this everything is ok again.<br />
<br />
Anyone ever seen this problem?<br />
<br />
Another solution would be to automatically open a dos-box full screen for about a second, and let it close again automatically. But i have no clue on how to do this.<br />
