    Display settings reverting - win98

     
    On a client's PC, running windows 98se, there's a problem I'm not sure how to fix.

    Occasionally, on reboot, the display settings (resolution, fonts, etc) will get reverted to strange settings (high contrast, huge fonts).

    This seems to only happen after the computer has been off for at least a few minutes, not when rebooting, or when turned off and then immediately back on.

    A windows repair from the CD would most likely fix this problem, but before we resort to that, I wanted to post it and see if anyone knew of this issue.

    Thanks for the suggestion, but I think we got it solved. The accesibility options in Control Panel were set, apparently that overrides the font size, window color, etc, in Display Settings.

    No idea why it only happened after being off for a time, though.. any thoughts?
    Also, the Auto Arrange function for icons on the desktop was odd - it wouldn't line them up, but instead place them at strange locations on the desktop. Anyone know how to fix that?
