SYMPTOMS
========

The Windows 95 startup logo is distorted, and the interface appears in black and
white during startup and while running Windows 95.

CAUSE

This problem occurs with a VLB video adapter using the Cirrus Logic 5426, 5428,
or 5434 video chip on a Pentium-based computer that has both VLB sockets and PCI
sockets on the motherboard.

RESOLUTION
==========

To correct this problem, replace the VLB video adapter with a PCI video adapter
using the Cirrus Logic 5426, 5428, or 5434 video chip or a video adapter using a
different video chip, such as the S3 or one manufactured by Tseng Labs.
