SUMMARY
=======
On certain machines, Setup can conflict with the video hardware and display a
partial, scrambled, or condensed screen.
WORKAROUND
==========
To work around this problem, attempt to print the screen by pressing the
SHIFT+PRINT SCREEN keys. If the printout shows a readable screen, the Setup
program can be completed by printing each screen as it appears and following the
instructions on the printouts.
MORE INFORMATION
================
On certain machines, it may be necessary to use a key combination other than
SHIFT+PRINT SCREEN. Possible combinations include CONTROL+PRINT SCREEN or PRINT
SCREEN by itself. CAUTION: Other key combinations can toggle printer echoing of
the screen output.
This workaround may not work on some machines because of different PRINT SCREEN
interrupt handlers or corrupted video memory.
