The icon will be in the group that you specified during the install process. When WinMode is started, the screen may blank for up to two seconds. This happens while WinMode attempts to discover the capabilities of the monitor. If this is successful, you will see only one choice besides the other brand and model choices in the Monitor Brand and Monitor Model drop down combo boxes. The various options you can configure in WinMode are described below. IMPORTANT NOTE: The Font Cache Size option in the WinMode dialog box is not available at this time. Monitor Brand and Model The Monitor Brand and Monitor Model drop down list boxes reflect which monitor setup you are currently using and the vertical refresh rates available. Generally, the higher the refresh, the better the screen will look. To change your monitor selection, click the scroll button and use the arrow keys to scroll through the alphabetical listing. Once you have chosen a new monitor brand, select a monitor model by clicking on the Monitor Model scroll button to make your selection. Depending on the monitor brand and model you selected, the monitor refresh rates change accordingly. Monitor Refresh Rates The drop down list boxes let you select the monitor refresh rates for each resolution for your monitor selection. If you select None for any screen resolution, any higher resolutions will be unavailable. This will also turn off the corresponding choices in the Resolution box. In general, the higher the refresh rate, the better the display quality and the lower the performance. This is because the graphics system can only do a fixed number of operations per second. The more time it spends redrawing the screen, the less time it has available to perform other operations. Consult the manual that came with your monitor to determine the proper settings for these fields. Page 7 Colors These buttons let you choose the number of colors that Wlll be available to Windows 3.1 after Windows is restarted. Some of these choices may be unavailable. This is because of the amount of video memory in your system and the resolution that you have selected. If you need more colors, there will be some slowdown in graphics performance. If you chose OS/Z-Windows in the Operating System field, then the only possible choice is 256 colors. Resolution These buttons let you choose the resolution that WinMode will use to run Windows 3.1 after Windows is restarted Some of these buttons may be unavailable because of the amount of video memory in your system or if some of the monitor refresh rates have been set In Unavailable. Operating System The Operating System buttons let you set the operating system that you are mnning Windows in, This is very important because the configuration and capabilities of the dnver are very different in 03/2 and DOS. The most obvious difference is that the driver will only work in 16 and 256 color modes in OS/Z. There are a number of other differences in the configuration of the driver. Note that prior to installing 03/2 for Windows, you will need to run WmMode and select the 05/2 option. Font Size The small fonts are intended for lower resolutions and higher resolutions on large monitors. With smaller monitors, the large fonts are more readable at higher resolutions.
