Hi George,

The chipset drivers would have nothing to do with this, since they
don't come into play until Windows itself starts to load. I see a lot
of so-called techs fall for this belief, too. The exception would be
if they install a driver into CONFIG.SYS, which is very unlikely.
Have you tried typing CLS to see if that reverts the screen to normal?
Have you tried F8 to step through to see when the color changes?

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