Description of "*DisplayFallback=" Entry in System.ini File

ID: Q135103

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows 95

SUMMARY

Windows 95 Setup adds the following line to the [boot] section of the System.ini file:


   *DisplayFallback=0

This line allows Windows 95 to use the standard VGA driver if the preferred video driver fails to load during the setup process.

MORE INFORMATION

User.exe adds this line to the System.ini file just before loading a display driver. If the specified driver fails to load, the value of the line is changed to 1, the computer is restarted, and the standard VGA driver is loaded.

Note that the DisplayFallback feature does not work properly with video drivers written for earlier versions of Windows.
