Well thank you, that gets the screen to come up! But now I've noticed a
little oddity. In Safe Mode, it runs at 800x600x32 with no problems. However,
when I attempt to run NormalMode/BaseVideo at 800x600x32, it gives me the
same no-display screen that I was getting before. Went back to Safe Mode, and
it's running 800x600x32 no problem still. I figure that's more of a video
problem, but any ideas on that?
Also, for some strange reason, Safe mode displays the resolution correctly,
whereas Normal Mode seems to place the Start Menu and the very top of the
screen outside where the TV displays. That seems a bit strange to me, seeing
as, like I said, Safe Mode displays it correctly. I swear, this is going to
drive me insane :P
