OK, I just got a call from my little brother and he says this is going on with our computer back home:

"As soon as Windows starts up, the monitor turns off and the green light on it turns orange and it won't turn back on."

He says he can get it booted up fine in safe mode, but in regular mode, it won't work... it's not the monitor, either, because they tried a different one.

Our system:

400mhz AMD K6-2
128MB PC100 RAM
20.0 WD HD
Voodoo3 2000 PCI
Win98 2nd ed.

Can anybody help me??

Your video drivers are corrupted. Boot up in safe made and remove the video adapter in the dvice manager. Reboot and reinstall the drivers.
