I have a unique situation with the cmos setup of my KT7RAID board. I can no
longer 'see' the CMOS setup screen. When I hit delete during the initial
POST all I get is a small blue band at the bottom of the screen and a
blinking cursor in the upper left corner. This began to happen when I
changed the location of my video card in an attempt to resolve a USB issue.
I have not only returned the card to its original location but have tried it
in all other PCI slots with and without other cards installed. Also, after
this first happened I successfully upgrade my BIOS to  version YH and am now
running the default settings since I can't 'see' the setup screen. One other
strange happening is that once I hit delete, and it attempts to show me the
setup screen, I can not longer utilize ctl-alt-del to reboot my system. I
must power off or hit the reset button.

The system will boot to Win98 as usual but I'm not happy with running just
the default settings. In the event that I can never resolve this issue, is
there a software program that would allow me to adjust the bios settings?
Any help/advice will be greatly appreciated.
