Default Re: CD arrives!

Andy,

I have no real video card, I have the built in intel video chip that uses from the 384 megs of RAM that I got (I believe). It's an on board Intel 82845G Graphics Controller with Adapter RAM 64.00 MB. It does say the resolution is 1280x1024x60 hertz, which is what my normal windows settings are. By default the CD installation selected 1600x1280. Perhaps that's the issue?

Going to try 1280x1024 BRB

Okay in Windowed mode looks just as fine as the 1600 mode, but the text is a bit bigger. Going down into Full Mode:

Well that worked but, it was very, very, very slow (the 'p', 'n', 't', 'f' commands and scrolling were a impossible crawl).

Trying next 1152x864 Windowed (forgot full, if I can get readable text I like the HFW button.

That worked but not as nice as the 1280. One last try in Windowed mode at 1024x768.

I will just stick with the 1280x1024 mode.

Thanks.

It works like a champ in Windowed mode, it runs very fast and the graphics are aswome, it's just my eyes are getting older and it's hard to read the info text (I am really used to the old DOS 480x640 size for text)
