| 240954 | 2004-06-01 09:05:00 | I recently replaced my old MGA G100 card with something better, and its all fine but when i shut down the computer instead of getting the windows is shutting down screen, i get a scramble of orange and yellow and other colours. the computer still shuts down afterwards. Any ideas? |

| 240955 | 2004-06-01 09:33:00 | checked the logow.sys file and it seemed to be allright.. | agent_24 (4330) | ||
| 240956 | 2004-06-01 10:10:00 | Did you remove the old driver before shutting down to change out cards? Have a look in device manager while in SAFEmode to "eliminate" any others listed. Quite often they will only show in safemode but not normal mode. Worth a crack? |

| 240957 | 2004-06-01 10:41:00 | i've not used Windows for a while, but I remember thesse symptoms on PC's running norton AV and (I think) an s3 video card. The cause was nortons. | timo (5725) | ||
| 240958 | 2004-06-02 05:33:00 | yes, i just tried that - the old card was still in there under safe mode. (it seems to work now but im not too sure) and, by the way - i do have norton AV on that computer and the card Is an S3 Trio. |

| 240959 | 2004-06-02 05:35:00 | no, the problem is still there. | agent_24 (4330) | ||
| 240960 | 2004-06-02 05:37:00 | come to think of it, it worked fine when shutting down from safe mode, and that could have been becuase norton didnt load in safe mode.... | agent_24 (4330) | ||
| 240961 | 2004-06-02 06:37:00 | i disabled norton, restarted then shut down again but still problem is there. | agent_24 (4330) | ||
| 240962 | 2004-06-02 14:05:00 | yeah, i was 99% sure it was the norton/s3 clash. It is harmless, BTW, bit just looks ugly. I worked in a PC repair shop for a couple of summer, we tried millions of things but never found a fix. Disabling nortons probably won't help because it would still load some of the behind the scenes stuff. 3 options are: different vid card, different AV, or live with it. You only see that screen for a couple of seconds a day anyway, so it's not a biggie. As I say, it should not cause any performance problems, only cosmetic. |

| 240963 | 2004-06-03 05:20:00 | True, the only thing about it really is its just annoying I might switch to PC-Cillin on that machine or something. But why the heck would norton and an S3 do that anyway? Oh well, I suppose weirder things have happened..... |
