- Yes, in my DISPLAY.DLL is a couple of bytes reading 00 28 00 28 00 20 00 20.
- This sequence is about in the last third of the dll (as far as I remember).
- If you change the 28's in 20's .... well, that's it.
- With an installed service pack it's getting a bit more complicated.
- You have to look for the hires driver in your ini file first. In my case
- it is IBM8514.DLL.
-
- Make a copy before patching and keep a boot disk handy, if you like to
- mess it up the first time. :-)
