Problem

Symptoms: Why can't the user get the 80 column, 50 row configuration under Text Screen Type? The user has an IBM PS2 model 30/286-e21 computer with an IBM VGA 8503-001 monitor. The user is able to get it through Norton Utility, and it works in WP, but without Norton the user cannot get 50 row selection. The user can get an EGA 43 row display, but not a VGA 43 or 50 row display. Solutions: The text driver the user is trying to select (VGA 80 x 43 or 50) is written for a color screen, not a monochrome. The user needs a color monitor for it to work.
