This is really strange, on the post screen, everything is squiggly like I am
trying to run 1024x768 on a monitor that only does 800x600, the Windows XP
does it as well, but when I get to the user login screen it all looks fine
and so does Windows.
If I hit delete, it loads the bios and I can read it as well.
Running a 3n1 combo with a SY-K7VEMPRO board.
Please help! |

I'm sure you have, but you didn't say so I'll ask if you've
tried different monitors. Perhaps yours is psychotic at 640x480.
Then again, try a video card swap.
Or, replace your memory and power supply  (inside joke).

I had a video card that was truly weird in DOS, but happy as a clam in
Windows (this was 95, iirc). Though it indeed could be the
monitor--remember the video card changes modes as it goes from what is
effectively DOS into full Windows mode.

Try disabling onboard video in your BIOS, and then try a video card.

I'm sure that will work, however that does not explain why the on board
video does this.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> >> Stay informed about: What causes the screen to be squiggly on post? |
