OH BOY!
i have been at my friends house trying to help him after his puter was attacked by the sobig virus. Another chap actually assissted him on getting his windows 98 all set up and going again, but he has lost all his word/office ect.
Also he is unable to connect to the internet as his modem isnt detected......I have gathered all drivers for his modem so hopefully I will sort that one for him.

However the thing that is puzzling is that his screen resolution is stuck on huge (like safe mode) style resolution. I cannot slide the slider at all.
Is this a common after effect? Or is there some way of overriding it?

He has win98.

Will need to reinstall the video drivers to fix that.

Also if not done run this TOOL (http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.sobig.a@mm.removal.tool.html)
