Vertical blue stripes overlaying about half the screen (evenly spaced).
If I click the mouse the screen goes solid greenish instead.  Mouse clicks 
on the icons don't do anything but change the message at the top of the 
window.  Pictview did not have the problem (but there was not enough free 
memory, without himem.sys, to display a 50K photo).

Thanks.  The problem is that it is more than 80 columns, ls displays in 
more than 80 columns, and I can't see the right end of the screen (at 
640).

That would be the ideal situation.

Is this the Control Panel Steven mentioned?

Will try this once we decide what to replace the computer with.  The other 
one at that location has floppy disk mounting problems in linux but not in 
DOS.  Any idea if this is means it is broken or just incompatible?  (We 
got the board dead and replaced 6 capacitors - it is 600MHz).
