W98 "Start" button distorted

[Lawman02766]

The title say it all. It is black for the left 2/3 of the block with 3 horizontal rectangles on the right 1/3. This happens as soon as I boot the system.

Any ideas or help is appreciated.

Also, how do I enable attachements for the forums?> I took a screenshot, but can't figure out how to attach it here.

Thanks.

Do you use a non-english version? I've seen that happen quite often with other languages.
I really don't think there's a way around it, but then again, I never worried much about it.

I know it didn't help, but hopefuly it was informative.

What are your system specs....vid card, processor, mobo, OS etc. etc.

I have had some funky results when using particular video cards with particular operating systems...

Let us know what you are using and we might be able to help a little more.

Head.....The system specs are below the signature line......marked "My Mistress".


Thanks Halo....no using the English version. Recently added new mobo, proc and video card. Probably something there, as this never happened previously.

Ahhh....right, missed that one...

Try using your vid card in the lowest possible resolution - i.e 256 colours, 640x480 - and see if it happens. If it shows normal then check to see if there are updated drivers - check Windows Update as well. Check the BIOS date - might be new BIOS that will take care of the problem too!

Thanks, Head, I'll try that to see what happens.
