Hi Martin, Did you try using the device manager? On the start menu, click administrative tools, then computer management. Click device manager on the left hand side of the box. All your devices will show on the right hand side - double click on display adapters and it will give you the name and numbwer of your video adapter. Unless there was a specific reason for using DOS. I think this might be easier. Maarty525
