Hi Jim if you manage to read this.  I have a question for you.  On my Compaq
386/20e PC at work I have my Windows desktop set to None, and it shows up as
a light gray.  Fine, no problem.  At home I have a Vega VGA card with the same
setup (desktop None) but it shows up as a light purple or blue.  Do you have
any idea why it isn't light gray like at work?  I'm guessing I have an old
video BIOS but not sure.  I believe its from 1988 so probably old.  I'd
appreciate any info you have.

Take care,

Are you sure you didn't inadvertantly set the desktop color to that?  You
can in the colors section even though you have no background.
