Restoring the original modes
You can restore your original mode settings after you have modi-
fied the configuration. This list provides important information
about restoring the original modes:
• The original configuration is stored in a
.cfg
file. When you
make changes that affect the configuration (such as adding,
deleting, or modifying syncs), the system writes the changes
to a
.dom
file. The
.cfg
file remains unchanged.
• The name of the
.cfg
and
.dom
files derive from the board
type. For example, the Md4/PCV board files are named
md4pcv.dom
and
mdvpcv.cfg
.
• At boot time, the driver uses the
.dom
file if it exists;
otherwise, it uses the
.cfg
file. If the
.dom
file exists,
the driver does not read the
.cfg
file.
To restore the original modes
1. Click Restore Original Mode List in the Custom Syncs
dialog box.
The control panel restores the original
.cfg
file by deleting
the
.dom
file. A dialog box appears, explaining that the
original modes have been restored.
2. Click OK to close the Display Properties dialog box.
3. Click Restart.
When the computer restarts, it loads the
.cfg
file.
To load a custom
.cfg
file created in Windows NT 4.0,
change its suffix to
.dom
, move it to the
windows
dir\system32\drivers
directory, and then restart
the computer.
