display issue; a fire in my screen?

C

Cole Coats

I have an HP Pavilion zd8000 laptop with an ati mobility radeon x 600
graphics card running Windows Media Center Edition 2005, the problem is when
i try to load some dos applications, or older windows software, my screen
does something i have never seen in my entire life. It either just goes
black, or goes black, then appears to be... on fire. This is the only way i
have been able to describe it, it looks as if white hazy flames are right
behind my screen, then it goes grayish white and stays that way, i dont know
if its an XP compatibility issue or if i should ask the ATI about it.
Compatibility mode does not work either, nor do the display options. Please
help!

You can try setting your display to fewer colours and/or lower
resolution (Display Properties) and see if it makes a difference.
