The most likely problem is that the screenmode is set to something other than NTSC, PAL, or Euro36. Can you get to the early boot menu (hold both both mouse buttons when booting)? If that's so, then boot without a startup-sequence and

delete sys:prefs/env-archive/sys/screenmode.prefs

Reboot and you should be in a basic, default screenmode.

ok cool
but i deleted the screenmod.prefs..and rebooted but still the same..
if i bootup in the bootmenu and choose chiptype original in display option it bootup ok?
but it doesnt store it somehow?

What sort of cable are you using to connect the 1200 to the monitor?

There must be another program screwing with the display. Can you report back what's in your WBStartup drawer?

When I have a 1084S, in the old days, they have no stripes or flicker, but scroll! :-)

In the Devs:monitors you'll have all the drives for your monitor. If they aren't there, there'll be in the storage/monitors drawer. If not, search for the original disks, specially the STORAGE one.

1084 (S, DS, D2, etc) don´t accept high resolutions (up to double ones).

Stripes in screen means capacitors in the monitor are going rigth to death. Change them asap.

Now with a C= 1942 things going better (all resolutions and less flicker).
