Video out of sync in dos mode
While booting up or in dos mode, my screen looks distorted, scrambled, simply out of sync. Once WinXP finish loading the logon screen & enter windows, the problem is resolved until I boot up or enter dos again. I believe this is a Dos Mode resolution issue. Does anyone know how to change the resolution in dos?
