Fix power management with a BIOS update

There's a support wizard (a step-by-step problem solver) that troubleshoots four common power management problems. It's at Windows 98 Troubleshooters.

There's also an article in the Microsoft knowledge base that mentions the monitor problems you describe.

There are three scenarios detailed.

1. The 3D Maze screen saver (3D Maze.scr) is loaded.
2. Your display resolution is set to 800x600 or higher.
3. You are using a Matrox MGA Impression Lite, Plus, Plus 220, or Ultima video adapter and driver.

To solve each of these problems, do the following:

• Disable the screensaver.
• Try a different resolution other than 800x600.
• Update your Matrox driver, should the video adapter be causing the problem.

You may have to register for support on-line if this Web address doesn't work for you. Go to Microsoft Support to do that.
