Quick thing.. I am running W98 and I cant get to the display properties

Anyway of getting to it.. Its not there in the control panel nor can I right click on the desktop and click "properties".

I need to fix this.

I am downloading drivers for the video card now.. but that is my last resort.. any dieas?

once the drivers are down, install them by going through the device managers-> update driver.

this file may be missing

Desk.cpl

Look for it, if it is not on your HD, then extract it out of the Cab files.

tried that adul, got its there.. plus I tried it from another machine too..
its a no go.

Note that in Windows 98, the Desk.cpl file is named Deskw95.cpl in the compressed cabinet (.cab) file. The file is renamed to Desk.cpl in the Windows\System folder.


something else then? tried scanning for viruses?
