SUMMARY
MS-DOS Shell uses three files for its video display: DOSSHELL.VID,
DOSSHELL.GRB, and DOSSHELL.INI. If you are having problems with your
Shell video display, re-creating these files may correct the problem.
Some common problems caused by corrupted or missing video files
include:
• Shell stops responding (hangs) when started
• Video display corruption (garbage on the screen)
• Video display related error messages
NOTE: The following steps are also necessary if you've changed your
computer's video monitor type.
