CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME? I FEEL SOOO STUPID.

I HAVE A COMPUTER WITH XP, IT IS CORRUPT AND I BOUGHT A RECOVERY THAT IS SUPPOSED TO FIX IT. WELL BEFORE I MESSED WITH MY COMPUTER I TRIED IT ON MY KIDS COMPUTER (THEIRS IS MESSED UP WORSE).
ANYWAY, IT SAYS TO HAVE THE CDROM BOOT, WELL I TRIED TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THAT MEANT AND I CHANGED THE THING IN BIOS TO HAVE IT BOOT TO THE CDROM (OR I THOUGHT THAT IS WHAT I WAS DOING). ANYWAY, NOW WHEN WINDOWS 98 COMES UP IT IS BIG AND DISTORTED LIKE IT GETS IN SAFE MODE.
I HAVE GONE IN AND DID THE DEFAULT SETTINGS (OR WHATEVER IT IS THAT YOU PUSH Y TO) BUT THAT DID NOT WORK.
CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT I NEED TO DO TO FIX IT TO USE THE DISK TO FIX THAT COMPUTER?
THANKS
SAM
OH, SORRY FOR THE CAPS

Does Windows load OK? If so then it is probably in your display settings. Have a look at this tip to change the display settings. If that doesn't help you may need to check that the video drivers are installed for the card/chipset that you are using.
