My guess is that you are missing the correct DOS driver. Apparently, some
manufacturers are a bit lazy about giving out the correct drivers for DOS,
on the assumption that you will only be running Windows, and so those
drivers will work just fine. You could check the video card manufacturer's
site to see if you have the most current driver.

If that fails, a good option is Scitech's Display Doctor. You can download a
