Shortcut to CMD

[Valerie]

Compaq Notebook Evo N1020v - 256mb ram - Windows 2K Pro SP.4.

Using the above with an external monitor (lcd screen u/s) - all going very well except>>>

Created a desktop shortcut to CMD, added the exe options of /T:1F and /K CLS to start with a blue background, white lettering and to CLS. Changed the Start in dialog to c:\ and checked the option to start in Full Screen mode. When I open the shortcut the screen goes black, no prompt or anything else visible. After opening the shortcut there seems to be a lot of access on the hdd then nothing regardless of how long it's given.

Hitting Alt+Enter shows the Command Prompt screen as a fairly small window, again hitting Alt and Enter returns to the blank screen.

I am using the Cmd shortcut in Win.2k on more than one desktop without problem, any ideas as to why the Evo hardware setup gives a problem?

Edit: 2k drivers installed were downloaded from the HP site.

You leave me clueless; I would say something with VESA compatible modes in the Video ROM...

Or just a Win2k problem... let’s see what others have to say...
