- new refresh does not take effect.
-
-
- Win95 Driver limitation
- =======================
-
- -In TV mode, open any application shows that bottom of the application is
- chopped off because TV uses 640x400 resolution mode.
-
- -Switching from any non-TV display type to TV requires Win95 to restart.
- This is by design.
-
- -In TV mode, the Win95 logo screen got shifted down because TV uses 640x400
- resolution mode.
