SYMPTOMS
========

On a computer running Windows 95, when the Inventory Agent is started either
from a logon script or by manually running RUNSMS.BAT, the video mode may change
from a window to a full screen. The user then must change this back to a window
after the script has completed.

CAUSE
=====

This problem occurs on computers that have older versions of the Compaq VGA
BIOS. Newer computers do not exhibit this symptom.


STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server
version 1.1. We are researching this problem and will post new information in
the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
