I have a blue G3 and at startup it has a green screen. After statup the monitor flickers every now and then. Is this my video card?

Does it remain green, or does the green go away after several minutes?

It's only green (behind the 9.2 logo) during startup.
I have changed the video card, I have changed the pci slot it goes into.
And it still is green, and still flickers.

Have you tried zapping the PRAM and/or tossing out the prefs folder?

Does the Mac OS startup screen look green too, or just the background?

Sounds like a problem with the software, not the hardware.
See if a backup and reinstall helps at all.

If it's OK once it boots, why can't you just ignore it?
Any chance you can get a photograph of what you're talking about, or make a mock-up in an image editor?
Summary: I have an blue imac, G3, running OS 9.2 and only recently at startup it displays a green/gray screen, maybe striped, before actually booting up. Also, when I tell it to shut down, instead of just...
Summary: Someone as a joke has set a picture to appear during my startup screen and I don't know how to remove it and regain my old startup screen. If you know how to do this please help. Thanks....
