I am running a ROM 3 GS. During the past week I have had a problem with 16 bit programs crashing into the monitor. Letting the machine sit over night and leaving it off when not in use has solved this problem. This morning I have a new problem, with the colors of the screen. The prblem is that I cannot set any colors in the Control Panel; I can set them, but they will not stay set! Thus I am looking at a black border with black text on a red background. UGLY! Could this be a battery problem; that is, do I need to replace mine. It is only about 18 mos. old but I do have a habit of unplugging the system when there are thunderstorms in the vicinity and when I am aware for a few days. If it is a battery, does anyone have the address of the firm (OWL ?) in Kansas City that sells them? Is this more than a battery problem? Is it in any way related to the previous problem of crashing into the monitor. At that time, the GS failed two of the diagnostic disk tests: CPU/ROM and System speed/interrupts. Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks. Ray Waxmonsky (waxmonrw@snybufva)
