Dear Sir,
                *I read your message. I think you must go to win95 control
panel. There you will get users icon. Go there and delete your username.
Before deleting your username pls make sure that all your personal docs etc.
are transferred to another directory/drive.
In win95 , if you rightclick the screen, you will get screen settings. In
that go advanced/display adapater. It will tell what type of display adapter
is present in the system.
Or goto Control Panel's system and in there you will get display adapter.
There you'll get details about the display adapter.

yours,
