.fine (6.0.3 system, etc.) otherwise. There IS one small thing that's weird:
.When I start the Mac (IIX, 8 MB), I see a BLACK & WHITE Mac-logo on the
."Welcome To Macintosh" startup screen, it seems to me that a couple of weeks
.ago it WAS color! I just noticed this, so I don't know exactly what / when /
.how it changed. Is this significant?! How do I "fix" it? All other colors are
It just means that your PRAM and the monitor cdev's color depth dosen't
match. To fix it:
1. After booting up, open the control panel and select the "Monitor" cdev.
2. Set the color depth to 2-colors/ B&W.
3. Close the control panel. THIS STEP IS IMPORTANT. DON'T SKIP IT!
4. Open the control panel again, and select the "Monitor" cdev.
5. Set the color depth to 256-colors/Color or 16-colors/Color and close the
control panel.
