for DOS 6.5++ on XP
David,
In win
XP Pro: (May be slightly different if Home Edition)
Click
the following:
-Start
-Control
Panel
-Appearance
& Themes
-Display
-Settings
-> The monitor used (or default) should be displayed on this screen.
Of default then the correct driver is not installed. If named driver is
installed then it may need updating, or problem may be with video
card driver.
-Advanced
-Monitor
-Properties
-Driver
(Tab)
-Update
Driver (Update here if you have the driver
available)
************************************************************************************
An
alternate path is to use the traditional Win 98 view:
-Start
-Control
Panel
-Switch
to Classic View (Seen on the left sidebar)
-Display
(then, continue from the Display line above)
.

Thanks for your replies. Both of you are pointing them in the direction
of
checking the video card / drivers. Can you indicate the exact sequence of
mouse clicks / menu selections needed to check what the driver is - to see
if it's "using the default" or "not the correct drivers for the
video card
under DOS mode"? I'm helping them over the phone so I need to
be able to
do it on my XP while walking them through checking / changing it on my XP.
How do I find what the setup is? How do I tell if it's right / wrong? How
do I change and what do I change it to?
Thanks!
