SYMPTOMS
If you are using multiple monitors in Windows 98, one monitor may display
your desktop wallpaper incorrectly on the Windows logon screen. After
you log on to Windows 98, the desktop wallpaper is displayed correctly.
CAUSE
This behavior can occur if all of the following conditions exist:
- You are using a Matrox Millennium video adapter as your primary adapter,
and it is set to a resolution of 1152 X 864 pixels and a color depth of
65,536 colors.
- You are using an S3 Trio 64V+ (Diamond Stealth Video 2001) video
adapter as your secondary adapter, and it is set to a resolution of
1024 X 768 pixels and a color depth of 256 colors.
- You are using a pattern as your desktop wallpaper.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this behavior, use the same color depth for all video adapters.
For information about how to change the color depth when you are using
multiple monitors, click Start, click Help, click the Index tab, type
multiple, and then double-click the "Multiple
Display Support" topic.
