I set the number of colors to 16, then to 256, then restarted. Everything is back to normal now. I had recently removed the video card, and replaced the monitor cable. Anyone know why this happens? Are some settings getting zapped in the card or the monitor? Mike. -- Michael A.

If this doesn't match the PRAM data and the card positions (most commonly, when you move the video card to a different slot), the screen gets reset when booting. -- Matthias Urlichs -- urlichs@smurf.sub.org -- urlichs@smurf.ira.uka.de /(o\ Humboldtstrasse 7 - 7500 Karlsruhe 1 - FRG -- +49+721+621127(0700-2330) \o)/
