I purchased Photosuite 4.0. When installing I was told I had to set the monitor to at least 800 X 600 High Color 16 bit.My monitor was set at 1024 X 768 256 colors. Made changes. Software installed and executed OK. Now my screen saver (Win 98, 3-D pipes) locks the system.When I return the monitor setting back to 256 colors-all is OK.Do I new an updated driver and where do I get it? or change some other setting in Win 98?
Thanks for your help!!!
 
I would try it with an update of your graphic-card driver.
Go to the manufactures webside and download it.

you could also change your screen saver or opt to not even use one, power management works just as well and consumes less power
 
for your updated video drivers, click advnaced search at left hand side then first letter of card manufacturer ( i.e. A for ATI T for Tseng, don't laugh they used to be good !)

Rob If in doubt get the Ball Pein Hammer out
