I just had someone upgrade my PC to Windows 98 2nd edition. Now my NEC F700 monitor has huge icons. I went into the Display thru Control Panel and it only offers me 2 changes. First is black and white and second is 16 Bit. It won't let me move the bar to change it to anything else.

Does anyone have any ideas?

You need to upgrade or install your video card drivers. Find out what card you have go to their website and download the video drivers for win98. Or if you have the cd that came with your computer or video card make sure they compatible with win98

You need up to 4 drivers to get "proper" display operation in W98.

Motherboard / Chipset driver (from system or motherboard mfg.)
DirectX (from Microsoft)
Video card driver (from system, motherboard, or video card mfg)
Monitor driver (if not specifically listed in the monitor list)

Install the drivers in the order listed.
If you need help locating the drivers, either post a comment with the specifics of your PC, or check out www.driverguide.com
www.motherboards.org
