SYMPTOMS
========

On a Packard Bell Statesman computer, the display may be garbled. The desktop
may run off the right side of the screen, the colors may be wrong, and the text
may be unreadable.

CAUSE
=====

This problem can occur if you are using 256-color mode. The display adapter in
this computer does not work in 256-color mode.

RESOLUTION
==========

Change to 16-color mode using 640 x 480 resolution. 256-color mode is available,
but you should not use it.
