Hmmm, I press enter initially, lots of stuff flickers by, then the
screen just goes blank apart from a line with 640 x by 480 or something
similar.

Pressing enter then does nothing.

Ok, I was testing with that. Got a bit further, with the initial
flickering messages, but still stuck after with the 600 by 480 line...

As I said pressing enter a second time after this does nothing.

Thanks for your help
