Was asked to restore desktop to status before a storm. Appeared computer was only booting in safe mode, but was able to change from large fonts to small. Could not change to higher screen resolution. Pent III, 700 with Diamond NVIDIA VL770 32 MB video card. System status showed proper operation. Using Win98SE. Reinstalled OP Sys. No difference. All other peripherals/cards operating normally. Dell diagnostics shows everything normal.

Damaged video card, even though diags & sys show proper operation?

Recommended upgrade to WinXP, but don't have hope it will solve video problem. Too much elapsed time to restore registry.

Opinions?
