This is kind of a weird problem.

I use a Compaq 9642, P233MMX 80 MB / 7.3 GB.  When I restart the system or
shut it down, I get a really weird screen distortion when the "Please Wait
While Windows Shuts Down" blue screen comes up.  You totally can't read the
screen, but then it is fine when it reboots.

If I try to go to "Restart in MS Dos Mode", the screen does not fix itself,
which makes it so that you cannot read the screen at all in MS Dos mode.

Other than this, everything works beautifully.  Can anyone suggest a fix?
The system information under Control Panel does not show that any devices
are malfunctioning.

Please reply via my email address.

Thanks!
