Microsoft has been warning about this for decades. I have never seen this happen with the default SYSTEM.CB.
You can try installing the SVGA or XGA Safe Mode files and Patches. Maybe one of them will work.

I checked SIV->Graphics report, i could be problem, that there are not listed 1 and 4 bit modes? So no 2 and 16 color mode in the driver?

   I dont understand, how is text modes embedded into normal VGA mode (if all data are rendered as graphical standard VGA mode), but if its something like Picture in Picture (in games we are name it embeded viewport - 2 rendering areas in 1 view) - this could be why its not working.

  I found info in SIV by accident.. On system were is working table looks like this(picture) and on systems were is not working are no check on 1 a 4 bit column..

I only want to clarify that fix it by replacing GPU for moment is working, i used more modern GPU, installed VBE and command.com was working..

Can someone pleas check command.com with other Nvidia cards and their drivers / monitors? I know to know which configuration should be avoided and which are ok.
