display

Waiting for an answer from Dell but thought I might find a guru on this one. My daughter (handicapped) said she was trying to print something and all she knew was whatever she did caused the display to get screwed up. I have tried everything I can in display properties to get back to original settings with no luck. Windows are small, games the kids play come up in little tiny windows and often unbalanced.

Tried the resource Cd but instructions said to to press 'DEL' when prompted. I was never prompted so I could not go any further with it. Each restart was - well, just a vanilla restart.

Any ideas - or where can I find factory settings for display properties - Dimension 4100 - P780 monitor - win98SE.

Thanks - Charlie

    ceaston,

    If this problem occurred recently, you should be able to restore your system to its earlier (correct) state by booting to a clean saved copy of the registry. Follow the instructions here. Pick a date that precedes the problem and reboot.
