After you have copied the VGAMODE utility to your hard
disk, it is best to include the pathname for VGAMODE and
other utilities in an AUTOEXEC.BAT file. See the next

section for instructions.

Adding VGAMODE to the AUTOEXEC.BAT file

For convenience in accessing VGAMODE, you can include a

pathname in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. Follow these steps:

1.

At the MS-DOS command prompt in the root directory,

type the following and press

Enter:

COPY AUTOEXEC.BAT+CON AUTOEXEC.BAT

2.

To set the path for the VGAMODE utility, type the
following and press

Enter:

PATH C:\pathname\

For instance, if you were using the default directory offered

by the VGA Driver Setup program, you would type:

PATH C:\UTIL\

3.

Press F6 and then

Enter.

(See your MS-DOS Reference Manual for more information

about pathnames.)

Using the utility

You specify values for the desired number of rows and columns

by typing them on the VGAMODE command line. The
command format is:

VGAMODE [columns], [rows]
