Most software that is compatible with

IBM

’s Personal

System/2,

VGA

, or

EGA

will run automatically on your

computer. Just turn on your computer and install your
application for

IBM

PS/2 models 50, 60, 70 or 80 video,

VGA

, or

EGA

as instructed by the program’s

documentation.

Configuring Your Application Program

Many applications include an installation or configuration
program to prepare them for operation on particular
hardware. Most newer programs are able to run in the
default

VGA

configuration of your computer.

However, some programs are written specifically for certain
non-

VGA

or non-

EGA

video hardware so you may have to

configure your computer to behave identically to the video
board needed by the particular software. For this purpose,
your system includes a utility to configure your computer
to behave like each of the

IBM

standard video devices. This

utility, called

VGA.EXE

, is described in the following section.

The following table lists the fully compatible video
standards supported by your computer and the video
modes and resolutions available under each video standard.
