SYMPTOMS

You have a NEC Prospeed 486 laptop, and when you use the Microsoft Windows VGA driver, the bottom part of Windows is cut off.

CAUSE

The NEC Prospeed 386 (laptop) display is 640 x 400 resolution. This behavior occurs because the VGA driver supports 640 x 480 resolution (that is, 80 rows longer than the display).
