I had this problem when I was using an ATI VGA Wonder (version 2 of the
board layout).  I called Gateway since I bought it from them, and they
sent me a new board (version 4 board layout).  I had experienced the
problem when switching to 132x44 character mode and back.  The new board,
due to a bug (says ATI), is not even capable of switching to that mode
at all!  In addition, the ANSI.SYS provided with DOS (ver 4.01) cannot
handle the 132x44 mode.  When you do a dir, it works until you get down
to line 24 or 25 and then you see pretty colors blinking...

So Gateway let me trade the card for an Orchid ProDesigner+.  The 132x44
mode worked perfectly, along with several other text modes (my favorite
is 100x40, and my Brief editor likes it, too).  Also, their EANSI.SYS
driver allowed flawless use of any of the character modes in DOS.
