Using SHIFT+PRINT SCREEN with Setup Video Problems (75850)
The information in this article applies to:
• Microsoft MS-DOS operating system 5.0
This article was previously published under Q75850
SUMMARY
On certain machines, Setup can conflict with the video hardware and
display a partial, scrambled, or condensed screen.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, attempt to print the screen by pressing
the SHIFT+PRINT SCREEN keys. If the printout shows a readable screen,
the Setup program can be completed by printing each screen as it
appears and following the instructions on the printouts.
MORE INFORMATION
On certain machines, it may be necessary to use a key combination
other than SHIFT+PRINT SCREEN. Possible combinations include
CONTROL+PRINT SCREEN or PRINT SCREEN by itself. CAUTION: Other key
combinations can toggle printer echoing of the screen output.
This workaround may not work on some machines because of different
PRINT SCREEN interrupt handlers or corrupted video memory.
