What should I enter for video?
I have several programs lately that ask what kind of video I have, and
I don't know what to say. I think they have all tried the most likely kind of video and decided I don't have it, even though this has happened on three different computers. The latest a flash drive version of AVG antivirus which wanted to know if I had VESA or VGA w/Vesa, iirc. There were other choices that seemed less likely. I looked up VESA and it said it was Super VGA iiuc, and I left plain VGA behind long ago for SVGA, but I didn't think it was VESA. Then, I think whichever I said, it gave me 7 more choices, 300x800x16, 300x800x32, stuff like that, and I didn't know what to chooose or how to find out. This was a 10" netbook, but I'm not asking you to look it up, since using option 7 worked fine. I just want to know how to tell. On another occaision the antivirus boot rescue disk Bit Defender worked with no problem on my computer, with a Dell Trinitron 17" CRT (which has a short catchy model number but they don't put it on the front of the monitor!) But at my friend's house, with a LCD monitor, it complained and wanted to know what kind of monitor and I tried 4 options, and in every case, the image was bigger than the screen and the OK button, etc. couldn't be seen, so we couldn't click on anything or use it. And on my computer too some program recently asked what kind of monitor/image I had. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks |
