Hi People,
I have a problem with the display in DOS mode on my computer. The video is
obviously corrupt. Most of the time I can't make out anything- there are
just snowy bands of color or white, and sometimes there is text that is
repeated and overlapped so as to make reading what is typed on the screen
next to impossible. I can't fix it by re-installing my video drivers. When
the boot process gets to windows everything displays properly. If I can't
fix this anything that would require me to be able to read a DOS screen
would be impossible, including re-installing my Windows 98SE or flashing the
bios. I need your advice, please.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
