Get rid of this screen?

Hi guys,

My cat walked on my remote and now I have this screen everytime I turn it on. How do I get it back to normal?

"While you can teach an old dog new tricks, you simply can't teach him to be a cat."

"Are you my Mummy?"

Menu -> Settings -> Television -> Promotions -> Disable

That screen will not display when you power on the box once you disable Promotions.

Just click on the exit button on your remote or scroll down to turn off this screen .

Bottom right of the screen it tells you how to remove it.

Your cat hit a rather elaborate combination of buttons on its stroll.

My cat is not permitted to walk on the remote. And so far he has been very good about that...

He quite loved the remote when he first got here! Walked on it, slept on it, tried to 'kill' it, etc. He's grown up now.

Back in the early 1990's I had a screensaver that was an animated aquarium - where the cat tried to fish. It required many "delete cat from keyboard" clicks before she discovered she could not catch any. After that she sleep in the chair, slept on the desk, played with the mouse(s), kneaded the bright red mouse pad, but never again walked on the keyboard. Instead, she sat in my lap and swatted the spacer bar to help me edit. It was a daily ritual. At $4 for a new keyboard it was cheap enough. One day she stopped "helping" me, and a month later she was gone. Cancer. She was 17. Her buddy the dog died a year earlier; he was 16.

Good luck with your cat-pal.

Yes! Very similar. Mine was made by Russians and the cat was on the keyboard. My desk was never as neat as yours.

Cats are great entertainers. Thanks for the memory.

I've seen pictures of TETRIS, but I never played it. Cats are easily entertained. My old cat likes the 3 C's cars, cartoons, cooking, and watching the trains go by the house.

On a sidenote, it seems you need to UN-zoom your TV as well. Youre cutting off all sides of the screen.

Cool. I picked up the floppy software in 1996-97 for $10 at ALCO. The internet was young with Win95a and no idea what layers or rendering was. I was fascinated by the color, animation, and realistic detail. So was the cat.
