- First, thank you, Steve.
-
- I did go through selective install using GA disk 7 - 18 + CSD's display
- driver disketes (the last 2). Now I have 640x480x256 display.
-
- Problem: Somehow my PMDDE.EXE file is gone. How can I retrieve it? I
- thought about selective install, but if use (I don't know if this is the
- right way) I will have to reinstall CSD again. If I can unpack from GA or
- CSD, would some kind soul point me which diskettes to look at?
-
- Comment: My 800x600x256 mode has a way too small screen, two mouse
- pointers, and two WPS shells. My BOCA SVGA (TSENG 4000 based) doesn't seem
- to be working well with the driver. Any comment?
