Screen display problem in 3.1

[everyday]

I changed the video display setting to SVGA 256 colors and 640 x 480. When the system restarted and I went into windows the screen goes black after the Win 3.1 logo appears. What do I do?

It sounds like you picked an incompatible video driver for your card or monitor.

This is what you do:
1. Boot to dos. If you have windows loaded automatically from the Autoexec.bat you can either press F8 at start-up and step your way through your system line by line, selecting NO for the WIN command (or autoexec.bat), or you can press Ctrl-C during boot up (you may have to hit it repeatedly.
2. Once there change directories to the Windows directory. Use "cd/windows" or whatever yours is called.
3. From there type SETUP. This will get you to your windows setup screen where you can re-pick your original driver or the good ole standard VGA.
4. Exit and then restart windows. Things should be the way they were prior to swapping your driver.
