I have a vintage 1994 IBM PS/1 486 DX with a standard for that time IBM PS/1 monitor. When I installed Win 3.1 on it a couple months ago (used to be plain DOS), I just let the install follow its default path, and it installed plain vanilla 'VHS' for the driver. I just picked up a copy of Macromedia Director for Win 3.1, and it needs a more specific driver, with either an 800 x 600 or 1024 x 768 screen resolution.
Win 3.11 has the drivers on disk to support these resolutions... but before I install, I was wondering how to determine which resolutions my monitor might support, how much video memory I have (these resolutions in 256 colors indicate they need 1 MB), and what will happen, if I install a driver that is incorrect.<g> I would hate to install a driver that messed up the monitor so badly that I could not access the computer to change things back in Windows mode.. or at least if I know such a problem might exist, I want to prepare in advance, to know how to reverse the changes in DOS, where the Windows drivers won't be running. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. -wittig http://www.robertwittig.com/ to master others is nothing. to master yourself is something. .
