- Microsoft Windows 95

SYMPTOMS
========
When you start Windows 95, the Startup screen (text mode) may be displayed
incorrectly. If you press the ESC key to view the text-mode screen, the
characters may seem garbled.
CAUSE
=====
Some types of video adapters cannot properly handle the video mode switching
that occurs when you press the ESC key.
RESOLUTION
==========
To resolve this problem, add the following line to the [Options] section of the
Msdos.sys file:
Logo=0
This line prevents the Windows 95 logo from being displayed at startup, allowing
the text-mode screen to be displayed correctly.
MORE INFORMATION
================
The Msdos.sys file has its hidden and read-only attributes set. You must clear
these attributes before you can edit the file.
You may also need to use the "Logo=0" switch in the Msdos.sys file if a batch
file that prevents starting protected mode is called from the Autoexec.bat file.
