Windows 98 display problems

Thank you for all your input. I know this is something less complicated so I do appreciate your help. Still trying to get the issue cleared up. Now...where can I find the manufacturers download site? Also, when trying to install my HP everything went fine until I received a msg. due to display issues the installation was aborted. Gina

Help!!! After setting up my new work station my display settings got messed up. I've tried everything I know to reset them even in safe mode unfortunately to no avail. I can't even install my printer info.
