Problem

Symptoms: When the spell check comes across a word that is misspelled (usually a word that starts with a capital M), the screen changes to CGA mode. This also happens when the customer scrolls up in Reveal Codes. The customer is using a IBM VGA graphics card defined as IBM VGA 640x480 16 color. Solutions: Using the /NC/NK/NF startup options together corrected the problem. Another customer with this problem corrected it by updating the VGA BIOS chip of his graphics card. He was using a card with a Data Tech 2.86 BIOS dated 1989.
