Try setting your screen mode again! (I hope you are not in Mode_X)

First of all try adding:

asm mov ax,0013h;int 10h;end;

between displays,
and if this doesn't help then try:

asm mov ax,0003h;int 10h;mov ax,0013h;int 10h;end;

This will (1st one:)Re set the graphics mode (and hopefully the VGA card)
or (2nd one:)Set the mode as text, then back to graphics.
The 2nd option is more likely to work, but is also more likely to cause
problems with flicker etc.

If there is a problem even with the second option, try pausing between
changing to mode 3 and mode 13

Hope this helps:)
