Windows 95 may ask you to set up your display. If you get this
message, choose SVGA from the list of display options.
If you’re using a display mode, such as SVGA, that uses more
space than the built-in display has available, the display goes
into virtual display mode. In this mode, the display pretends
it’s bigger than it really is by stretching the Windows desktop
so that part of it is off the screen. To see the remainder of the
desktop, move the pointer to the edge of the display and keep
moving it in the direction of the part of the desktop you would
like to see.
Display modes that use less than the maximum resolution of
the internal display (800 x 600) occupy a smaller area of the
screen. In these modes, you’ll see a black border around the
screen image.
