- If you have a V7 VRAMII card, you can have a 1024x768x4 display mode by
- doing this "copy \winnt\system\v7_1024.dll \winnt\system\vga.dll"
- or "copy \winnt\system\v7_800.dll \winnt\system\vga.dll" for 800x600x4.
-
- Do this "copy \winnt\system\xga.dll \winnt\system\vga.dll", if you are using
- a XGA card.
