= SUMMARY =

Toshiba Laptops, such as the Toshiba 1200 SE and the Toshiba T1000, have liquid crystal displays (LCD) and usually use a CGA video adapter card.

It has been reported that such displays may demonstrate problems, such as disappearing text, cursor, or a disappearing Word command menu.

If any of these problems occur, try the following:


 * 1) Refresh the screen with CTRL+SHIFT+BACKSLASH.
 * 2) Ensure that the background color is not the same color as the cursor (reverse video or black is available with this video configuration).
 * 3) Toggle between video modes with ALT+F9 or change the “display mode:” field in the Options menu. A macro to change the display mode may be recorded and assigned to a key (for example, CTRL+W).
