We just got our kids a low-cost game-playing setup to get them off our AT system. (Those of you with kids understand the problems of dirty screens, sticky keys, etc., etc.) Most of the kids's games use CGA output, so we got them an old PC two-floppy clone with a CGA card. Rather than buy one of those awful CGA displays, we simply pipe the composite output through to the TV. That works fine. However, some games that had good four-color displays on the AT/EGA system now display almost black-and-white on the TV. My daughter calls it "albino color". Does anyone have any suggestions for hardware or software fixes? Would DOS mode command help? Note that this problem is not consistent. Phil Burton
