That's normal behavior: the \n -> CR-LF conversion only happens for file 
I/O.  With direct screen I/O, you need to put the \r there explicitly.

It shouldn't, but perhaps leave this alone for now (debugging more than 
one problem at once is not a good idea ;-).

Does your program call some conio functions to set the screen colors?  If 
not, you should have see the normal white on black output from cprintf.

Can you show the fragment which calls cprintf?
