My wife went into my office and not realizing my system was on, downloading through Agent, but the monitor was in hibernation mode, turned my computer off. When she realized what was happening, and tried to turn it on again, she got a windows protection error on boot. Not the blue screen, but the black screen before windows completelly loads.
On reboot again, the computer shows Video Card problems and boots in 640x480 in 256 color mode. When I was building the system, I had this problem because of the supplied driver with the Rage Fury Pro and Win 98. Once I downloaded the updated driver from ATI, the problem went away. This time, I tried reloading the updated driver several times but continued with the same trouble... win protection error, then reboot to low res load. I tried this several times and ways including deleting the files, reloading other drivers, but nothing helped. I was able to use ATI diagnostic utility and all of the tests of the card came back OK. I also tried to reinstall Win98SE but that didn't help either.
Any suggestions?
