Setting the Primary Display Type

This option lets you define the type of adapter you are using
in your computer for your primary display device:

VGA or EGA

Color 80 x 25

Monochrome

Color 40 x 25.

Note that this option defines the display adapter (the built-in

VGA port or an optional video interface card in your
computer), not the monitor connected to it.

If you have connected your monitor to the computer’s built-

in VGA port, select

VGA

or

EGA.

Otherwise, follow these

guidelines to select the correct adapter type:

If you have a color graphics adapter (CGA) or a multi-

mode graphics adapter (MGA) attached to an RGB (color)
monitor, select

Color 80x25. (Also

be sure to set the

color/mono switch on the MGA card to color.)

If you have a monochrome display adapter (MDA), an

MGA, or a Hercules MGA attached to a monochrome

monitor, choose

Monochrome.

(Also remember to set the

color/mono switch on the MGA card to mono.)
