Configuring the Video Display Driver
The first time you start the system, your monitor displays at 1024 x 768 screen resolution.
For the system to use the installed video adapter at other display resolutions, you must
configure the video display driver as described in this section.

in the Display Properties dialog box to change the color depth, desktop size, font size, refresh
rate, and display type. To determine which video display adapter is installed on your system,
click the Display Type button.
