Since there is no admin on a standalone PC, it's likely a browser hijacker. Do you scan for spyware on a regular basis?

I guess, I don't understand why you need a program to restore monitor/video settings. Didn't you get the drivers for your Video card from the mfgr.(Video) website? Other than that, maybe you should contact Compaq, or is it possible you got the wrong program? Maybe someone else knows what you're referring to. Sorry, I can't be of help.

If you didn't format the drive, before you reinstalled, the drivers should still be on your hard drive. Also, the correct Video make/model should be listed, when you go to change it. You need to know the name of the mfgr. for your Video card. Reinstall your Video Display drivers. Right click the Desktop - Properties - click Settings tab. Click Advanced Button - Adapter tab - Change button. Click next in the wizard - select "show a list of drivers" Next. Wait for it to finish "building a driver information database." In the new window, select "show all hardware." If it lists the correct Video card make and model, click Next and finish it out. If it doesn't, then select your video card maker, and the model in the right pane. Click Next and finish out; restart if prompted. Otherwise, you need to find out the make of your Video card and locate the proper drivers at the manufacturers website.

It is a different computer. (Compaq Presario 1692) Also, if you have to logon everytime you load Windows, this may have something to do with it, I could be wrong, however, systems with 98 that have multiple user accounts may have settings with different Property settings. The Compaq Presario 1685 page I have found is here: It is a Laptop. Is your's a laptop?

(The System Restore CD's don't work otherwise I would use them) I have downloaded the file sp14518.exe to a number of different computers and still I get the message (on 2000 or XP... this is not a valid Win32 application) or just the error that was initally mentioned here on a Win98 computer. I contacted HP/Compaq and they said it works fine...NOT.... the tech said and I quote "This particular softpaq will work only in Windows 98 system and 98 applications are not compatible with XP." I tried to explain to him that XP will not even run the program w/o giving the error.. yes I do know it's for a Win98 computer but the program should still launch!!!! .... DUHHHHH It may be that the file is corrupted on their FTP server I don't know. I have searched another source for these drivers and have drawn a blank... anyone???? HELP!!!!

Alas, I did now. The file you download on the compaq website is corrupt. try using this ftp site from compaq. ftp://ftp.compaq.com/pub/softpaq/ Just search for the file SP1213S.exe and install it in your laptop. Let me know how it goes.
