If you do not have both an SVGA Video card AND an SVGA monitor, do not try this operation.

Monitor "Resolution" to 800x600:

Step 1: Open your Display Properties.

Open your Start Menu, select "Settings" and open "Control Panel." Once your Control Panel opens, select "Display" and double-click.

Step 2: Set your resolution.

Click on the "Settings" tab at the top of the "Display" window. On the right side of the window, about one-half of the way down the window, There is a sliding bar. If you slide it to the right one spot, the text below the sliding bar should say "800x600 Pixels." This is your que to stop sliding!!

Step 3: Apply the changes.

Now press the "Apply" button in the bottom-right corner of the window. Windows will tell you to wait 15 seconds if the screen turns blank or becomes scrambled. If your screen turns black and does not come back, press the "N" button ONCE. If your screen comes back up and you can see Windows normally, press the "Yes" button on the screen. Close the display control panel and enjoy your higher resolution!

If your system loses it's display when you changed resolution & did not come back when you pressed "N", Do the following:

Press the reset button on the front of your computer.
The EXACT MOMENT that you see the text "Starting Windows 95 (or 98)" come up on your screen (just before the pretty blue cloud splash screen), press F8.
A Startup Menu will appear. Select "Safe Mode" (option 3).
Once your machine starts up, open "Display" as illustrated above.
Once at the "settings" tab, change your resolution back to 640x480 by sliding the resolution bar to the left.
Press "Apply" and choose "Yes" to restart your machine.
Your problem is solved! the bad news is that your machine will not run 800x600 resolution.
