wily, monitor problems: I connected a 6 year old Goldstar monitor
to my old PC. Am using the newer pnp monitor with my new HP Pavilion.
The old PC boots and displays the Win95 logo ok, then after
initialization is complete, the display picture breaks up and
is unreadable. When I start the machine in safe mode the display
is fine, but some programs don't work. I tried setting the display
characteristics to Goldstar - no success. My guess is Win95 sets
monitor properties to those for the previously connected pnp monitor.

Since the Goldstar monitor displays properly before Win95 completes
its initialization, it has to be a software setting.
Any ideas?

Regards Gottfried
PS: another topic - the HP Pavilion came with a rescue CD.
If the software gets corrupted just run the CD and it restores
the factory software installation.
