A bleeding or smearing condition can occur in the demo program, Windows, or a DOS shell when a 640 x 480 graphic mode is used. The condition does not occur in diagnostic mode.

Problem Isolation Aids:
Check BIOS for a date before (earlier than) 11/25/93. BIOS dated 11/25/93 or later will not have this condition. To see the BIOS date:
1. Boot the system while holding down the F1 key.
2. At the Easy Set-Up screen select "Config".
3. Select "System Board" at the Config menu.

Fix:
Load the Video Features Diskette 1.21 or later.
Insert the diskette and load the VINSTALL.EXE. This replaces the VESA.EXE and will allow selection of the correct display mode for the 9545 systems.
