    I have been experiencing a problem when my computer goes into the suspend
    mode the video won't re-initialize when I move the mouse also nothing works on the keyboard to get the computer to re-initialize the video card. I have looked at the the power.drv configuration button but when I click on it nothing happens does this mean that the power.drv is corrupted? I have windows98se running on A Ibm netfinity 3000 server [originaly came with NT]that has a s3 trio 3d video card. Could it be possible that because the system was built for NT that the power management profile system is wrong and if so is there any way I can modify the profile? I have tried to disable power management in bios but it still had the problem.

    any suggestions are greatly appreciated as I am going insane trying to figure this problem out!

    Sincerely, John

    jonnyfive333 - Welcome to the Board :)

    A couple of points here ....

    Suspend mode has never been a good thing to operate and can cause no end of problems. Much better to use Power Scheme options in Control Panel > Display > Screensaver tab.

    If the drive was reformatted from NT when 98 was installed you should have the correct power management profile. Have you tried a reinstall/update of the video drivers? Obviously you require the 98 drivers here.

    I have edited your post to remove the win.ini details - not needed. All that 'mozart and george' is the Windows information file which records the setting Windows uses and is referred to by Windows on boot up.
