w98se stuck in 16 colors & 640 x 480 pixels

Like the tittle sez other machine is stuck in this setting. Tried the usual way of right clicking blank space and going to the settings tab, change restart and reverts back to the 640 x 480 setting. When I run or should I say attempt to run MSCONFIG it opens for a few seconds and goes back to the desk top, but was able to click on the advance tab quick enough to get a glimps at the check box for the 640 xc 480 tab and it is un-checked.

If your power supplied died it died on its own. Viruses or spyware wont take out a power supply. They can take out some other hardware componets by overworking them extremely hard but I dont think they can take out a power supply.

Also heres 2 programs you need to run on your computer.

You also have a worm.

Also a trojan

I would reccomend doing those then do another full system scan with housecall. Then post another hijackthis log on here.
