The default Windows video resolution is 800 by 600 with
256 colors. For an optimum screen display, you can set
video modes and refresh rates through the CLMODE util-
ity, also preinstalled on your system.
To change the video drivers in Windows, use the Win-
Mode utility. Select the driver and resolution you want and
the driver will load from the hard disk drive.
Additional VGA drivers are available for non-Windows
based applications through the NEC Bulletin Board Serv-
ice (see "NEC Bulletin Board Service" later in this chap-
ter).
The system BIOS resides on a flash ROM in your system.
You can update the ROM BIOS, should it ever become
necessary. This feature allows the ROM BIOS chip to be
"flashed" with a new BIOS code through software, rather
than requiring you to replace the chip.
