Re: Display Problem!!!
That looks like safe mode or 16 colors!
Are you running sage mode? - If not try reinstall the drivers for the graphics card

Re: Display Problem!!!
If that screen grap is correct then you have an Nvidia Riva TNT2, this is avaiable as a choice in the second box of the driver selection page
