Steve: Are you by any chance using a Flickerfixer along with the VGA card and hooking both to the same monitor through a switchbox? If so, then what you need to do is to switch the VGA to the monitor during bootup until the boot screen comes up (the VGA card has configured itself). It seems that many VGA cards are more intelegent than is handy for switchbox use., they try and figure out what kind of monitor they're hooked upto (color or Mono) and set themselves up accordingly. I'm using a generic Paradise made card, and I have to do this or else it will boot into Mono mode, and the only way to switch it is to reboot the BB side while the monitor is hooked to the VGA. Try this and see if it helps. If you're NOT using a switchbox and flickerfixer, and have the VGA hooked directly to the monitor, Sorry for this long message, and I don't have a clue to whats wrong! -Mike Schiller In sunny Fort Lauderdale
