You've posted a question about Windows 98 in a newsgroup about Windows
Vista, a completely different operating system. It sounds like your
monitor is not getting a signal from your video card. Check the monitor
cables, check the computer on a different monitor, change out the video
card. Those are the troubleshooting steps for this problem. If your
computer was designed for Win98 it is quite elderly now and failing
hardware should not be a surprise.

If you have more questions, post in a Windows 98 newsgroup. Here is a
list of all the MS newgroups so you can find the right one:
