odd display problem
Running W-98 on Dell Dimension L433c.
Problem Description: Day after Christmas, my son installed MDK2 & supporting software, checked it out, & uninstalled. Since then, we have a green "brick" approx 1x2", about 1" down & 2" right of the upper left corner of the screen.
Disappears on reboot, reappears after monitor has been quiesced by power manager. Have downloaded & installed latest driver for Intel 810 chipset, with no apparent effect. Suggestions, pls?
Msg above was sent to Dell support; suggested fixes were:
_Uninstall MDK2 (done, no effect)
_Turn off power manager (done, no effect)
_Use MSCONFIG to selectively re-boot (done -- brick comes back as soon as i re-activate CONFIG.SYS (?!))
"Brick" is ALWAYS ON TOP, not 'sensible', kinda like a hole in the wallpaper. Only times it does NOT show up are when monitor is in power-saver mode, or when running in DOS mode. N.B. machine is on 24/7; if i can go over 5-6 days on a boot, the brick disappears on it's own, to re-appear after next boot. Have checked MDK2 homepage & vendor homepage; no reports of similar situation. If anyone has any ideas, however far-fetched, please pass it on.
