Configuring Video Under Windows 98/Me/2000/XP

Windows 98/Me/2000/XP video is configured from the Display Properties Settings dialog, shown in Figure 15-2, and the Display Properties Settings Advanced dialog, one page of which is shown in Figure 15-3. To view Display Properties, run the Display applet from the Control Panel or right-click a vacant area of the desktop and choose Properties. The following sections describe how to use Display Properties to configure Window 98/Me video settings. Windows 2000/XP is similar, with minor differences in the appearance, names, and functions of the dialogs.
