threefold problem with IE

[Guest]

While browsing have blocks greyed out. No color. When I try to go to
properties and reset the color to a higher resolution, it just goes back to
16 color. It won,t stay changed. I must have done something but I don't
remember what.

Next problem I get fatal exception OE has occured 00282B6101B in VXD
wsock2(01) 0000373B error and

IPMON32 error, illegal operation Kernel32.dll@0167:BFF88396.

I have tried to look up each of these error numbers but haven't been able to
find them. I get the second error when on outlook express 6. Sometimes I am
in a message and the screen just goes black and goes back to the restart
screen.

Can you give me some help with these problems? I hope it is not time to get
a new computer. I love this one.

Your video drivers have become corrupt. It's time to reinstall them or
update them from the manufacturers Web site.

Support person from Earthlink said this was a new problem with Microsoft Win 98 but I haven't been able to find any articles on it. Would changing the video drivers get rid of the error messages I am getting?

A Fatal Exception 0E (that's 0E, not OE) usually indicates a problem with
hardware or drivers. The address 0028 suggests video. Visit the Web site
of your computer manufacturer or the manufacturer of the video board and see
if they have new drivers. Or reinstall the existing drivers from the disks
that came with the computer or video board.

Meanwhile you can do the following:
1. Use the default mouse pointers.
2. Turn down your color depth. (Right click the desktop and choose
Properties | Appearance | Settings) Some people find that increasing color
depth helps.
3. Turn down your graphics hardware acceleration. (For Win 98, Start |
Settings | Control Panel | System | Performance | Graphics button) You will
see little, if any, performance degradation.
4. Turn off your desktop wallpaper.

If these make the problem go away you need new video drivers.

If you have an ATI video board, try adding these lines to System.ini
