No save file dialogue after installing Puppy

Hi
tried a install and all went well, except i could not make a save file due to the screen going blank at shutdown. The pc did not turn off so I an assuming that the monitor or the video chip cannot display the relevant screens.

I see 2 options
1 change some setting to get the display to work

2 Make a plain save file with nothing in and add to /mnt/home using the same version of puppy. And hopefully on the next boot the save file would be picked up and the pc would turn off.

Is 1 possable? and would 2 work?

Thanks in advance :D

Was this a frugal install? Which version of Puppy?
