Bad "picture" during boot up and shutdown only

When booting or shutting down my Compaq Presario 7180 the picture on my
monitor (Compaq Presario 14SV) goes "bad". During Windows 98 the picture is
fine at 800 x 600 with 256 colors. I am unable to access Setup during the
boot process since everything is illegible. This Compaq model has a display
adapter. I think it is an S3 Trio, Inc. PCI Plug and Play or something like
that.

If I need to, I can access Setup by hooking up to my old Packard Bell
monitor. For some reason it will work during boot up and shutdown, but only
at 640 x 480 with 256 colors.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Gary
