What is wrong?? I double click 'display', thru control panel, and I get 1/2
second of an hour glass icon, then nothing. Can't do anything like I used
to in display. I'm running a P4 1.8mhz, and Windows ME...

Also, upon boot up, I get a black screen, counting down from 5 seconds, to
boot to ME. I did try and install Win 2000, but it failed, and now I get
this NAG at boot up. Can anyone tell me how to get rid of this NAG??

Thanks in advance,
Zumy

To remove the boot menu boot with an ME Startup floppy (and ONLY and ME
floppy!) and type

SYS C:

at the A:\> prompt - that should do it.

As regards your other problem - do you have problems opening other items in
the Control Panel, or is it just that one?
try this
Reboot to Safe Mode and run CWShredder - to remove what may be
a variant of the CoolWebSearch hijacker.

Noel,
Thx for the reply, and I'm going to try to sys c: shortly. In response the
the latter part about my "display" going away, the answer is 'no', only the
display icon in control panel. It's like the program isn't there. Anyway,
I'll check some of the links you supplied. Thanks again, Monte.
