Configuring the Video Display Driver

The first time you start the system, your monitor displays at 1024 x 768 screen resolution.
For the system to use the installed video adapter at other display resolutions, you must
configure the video display driver as described in the video adapter documentation included
with the system.

Using the Display Properties Dialog Box

Open Display in the Control Panel to configure the video display driver. Use the Settings tab
in the Display Properties dialog box to change the color depth, desktop size, font size, refresh
rate, and display type. To determine which video display adapter is installed on your system,
click the Display Type button. Use the controls on the Hardware Settings tab to change the
monitor type, screen display, and preferences.
For detailed information on configuring the video display driver, see the video display
adapter documentation and Help delivered with the system, and the
delivered with the video display drivers.

2. At the boot screen, select the VGA mode option appropriate for your system.
