Non-Windows Applications Difficult to Read on Monochrome VGA

ID: Q63589

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows versions 3.0, 3.0a

SYMPTOMS

You may experience problems reading the text in non-Windows applications running under Microsoft Windows version 3.0 on a computer with a monochrome VGA display. Although this usually occurs in enhanced mode, it can also happen in real and standard modes.

WORKAROUND

You can correct this problem by adjusting the contrast every time the application is used.

A better workaround is to rerun Setup and select "VGA" rather than "VGA with Monochrome display." However, this may not always work.

STATUS

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.
