SYMPTOMS
If you have a Dell DGX computer or ATI 8514 video adapter, when switching from full screen to a window, your screen may become corrupted or garbled.



CAUSE
The VGA display memory being passed back to the display emulator is in a nonstandard format.



RESOLUTION
Follow these steps:


 * 1) Determine the actual chip set you have on your computer. On a Dell DGX, it is probably an ET4000.
 * 2) From Control Panel, select Devices.
 * 3) Find the video driver that matches your chip set.
 * 4) Choose Startup and then System.
 * 5) After exiting Control Panel, restart your system.
