Jo Ann, Yep I think it has been happening for over a year now. A long while ago, when it first started I did try reinstalling the video driver. No change. I installed an updated version of the video driver. That always caused the 98SE system to boot into safe mode. i un installed the update, put the original driver back on and still have the blinds. I am now using a different monitor.. still have the blinds. No other problems, other then the nuisance.

I still have it, the new drivers for my video card that GMan suggested didn't help. So, you have had it for a while and it hasn't got worse or caused other problems?
