Please help me. I recently reinstalled windows 98, formatting the hard drive and losing all of my files. The reinstall worked fine with one major problem - my sound and graphics have been comletely wrecked.

I only have 16 colours, and my icons are huge. Also, internet windows do not fit in the screen.

I have no sound, and can find no sound card. I have been on countless web sites looking for advice, have downloaded everest, device scan etc etc, but do not know what to do.

Please help - I am a bit of a novice at all of this.

Many thanks
