If I substitute the logos.sys, ' It's safe to shutdown etc', by renaming it from logos to logow, the stripes become black and yellow, so it's obviously pulling the colors from those bitmaps. The bootup splash screen, logo.sys, displays normally at startup, as do all other displays during normal use - it's only at shutdown that this happens. The machine has the W98 shutdown bug, and I've tried every suggested fix on this forum without success, but I don't know if this a factor or not. It's almost as if Windows turns over control of the GFX function to some other agency at shutdown, and this 'other agency' doesn't know how to handle it. The mobo is an Asus P5A - B and the GFX card an Asus PCI V775V2C with, I think, 2Mb ram. The main ram is 32Mb. Any ideas would be much appreciated. TIA	porty (1720)
