If you encounter this problem frequently, you may have a problem with your video driver or your Windows display settings. You might want to try the following techniques to reduce the frequency of this problem:
Use your current display driver, but lower the resolution and/or color depth. If your driver is set for High Color or True Color, try changing it to 256-color. Additionally, you may want to modify the hardware acceleration setting:
On the Start menu, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
Double-click the System icon.
Click the Performance tab.
Under Advanced Settings, click Graphics.
Move the slider to the left to reduce the hardware acceleration.
When you are asked if you want to restart your computer, click Yes.
The hardware acceleration changes take effect when you restart your computer.
If your video driver was not included with Microsoft Windows 98, Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition (Me), Microsoft Windows NT 4.0, or Microsoft Windows 2000, you might want to check to see if your video adapter emulates one of the drivers that is included with Windows 98/Me, Windows NT 4.0, or Windows 2000. Try to run your computer with the emulated video driver. If nothing else, most video drivers can use the Windows 98/Me or Windows NT/2000 VGA display driver.
If you cannot use one of the video drivers that is included with Windows 98/Me or Windows NT/2000, contact the manufacturer of your computer or video adapter to see if there is an updated video driver available.
