Boot Menu When Booting

[zz28]

P4 1.4G, 256RAM, 40GB HD, Win98. When I boot the PC I get the Boot Menu (options for booting up normal, safe mode, command prompt, etc). Also when I boot to normal mode it get 16 colors only. It has the option to change the colors but it will not allow me to change them. I have reinstalled Win98 (without formatting), and I have reinstalled the video driver. Any suggestions?

THANKS

OK, lets start with a few details

What video card do you have, or is it onboard?

What motherboard do you have - specifically interested in what chipset?

What driver did you download/use for your video card?

The fact that it is booting to the boot menu each time means one of two things... the video card/driver is bad and causing windows to go to safe mode or you have got a setting in the boot menu stuck see here to correct the setting (http://www.winguides.com/registry/display.php/96/)

If you correct the boot menu problem and it STILL reverts to the boot menu you have definitely got a video card or video driver problem.
