Help! My default dos foreground color is Pink not low intensity white.
Is this possibly a virus? I booted from a protected floppy master disk
- - no change!  Virustop runs but identifies no virus. My screen turned
pink in the middle of a Kermit download. I use NOrton contro center
and it indicates that my default color is a pink but in the low
intensity white position in the selection chart. I try to change the
color but when I exit to dos the default is back. Any ides gladly
accepted.
