In article <3204801B.167EB0E7@unixg.ubc.ca>, "Alden W.H.

The screen color changes to its >negative counterparts when the screen comes up again. > >Also there is another problem. I see my screen flicks very often.

I am using the MAG DX15T (something like >that) monitor. > >I would like to know if anyone encounter a similar problem. I don't think it's your monitor. I used to have similar problem before. I am using matrox millenium with 2M WRAM and my monitor is a rebadged MAG17. I got rid of the problem by downloading the latest display driver for Win95 from MAG website ( www.mag.com). Just follow the menu which says download drivers. Just be patient, the site can get pretty busy sometimes. Cheers, LB ========= L.B. Irawan Email: LB@pobox.com
