I've just encountered an interesting problem that never showed up before.
Hopefully, someone can shed some light on this for me!

I just installed a new VGA card with a monochrome VGA monitor (I had
an EGA card before).  When I booted up for the first time, the system
was in the correct mode (ie. mode co80).  Now, whenever I boot up, it
is always in mono mode.  I had to add the line "mode co80" into my
autoexec.bat.  I checked my setup and it is configured for EGA.  

Any ideas why this problem just showed up out of the blue?

Thanks for your help.
