To eliminate the display problems, run the VESA programs in Single
MS-DOS Application Mode. To do so, follow these steps:
- Click the Start button, point to Programs, and then click MS-DOS Prompt
on the menu that appears.
- In the MS-DOS Prompt dialog box, click the Properties button.
- In the MS-DOS Prompt Properties dialog box, click the Program tab, and
then click the Advanced button.
- In the Advanced Program Settings dialog box, make sure the MS-DOS Mode
box is checked, and then click the OK button.
MORE INFORMATION
Typically, a VESA program is displayed only on the top half of the screen,
overlapping itself. The program generally remains functional, and you are
able to quit the program properly.
