The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows operating system versions 3.0, 3.0a, 3.1, 3.11

SYMPTOMS

You have a NEC Prospeed 486 laptop, and when you use the Microsoft Windows VGA driver, the bottom part of Windows is cut off.

CAUSE

The NEC Prospeed 386 (laptop) display is 640 x 400 resolution. This behavior occurs because the VGA driver supports 640 x 480 resolution (that is, 80 rows longer than the display).

WORKAROUND

NEC recommends that the EGA driver be used with this computer to work around the problem.
