For many recent boards that support the VESA 3.0 standard, but do not include utilities that let you set DOS refresh rates for the VESA driver, two third-party solutions to the problem areavailable: the freewareVBEHzutility, and the (highly recommended) shareware Unirefresh utility by Rob Muller. (Download the program from one of the links on theMajorGeeks.com site; you may need to try more than one link.) These programs work with many graphics boards made in the late 1990s and early 2000s based on Nvidia and3Dfx chips, and the Matrox G450 (and possibly the G200 and G400 if upgraded with a later BIOS formerly available onMatrox'sweb site); I have not tested it with ATI graphics hardware. Both these software solutions work under DOS,Windows 9x, and Windows Me. They will also work with some video boards under Windows 2000 and XP if started from afull-screen Windows 2000 and XP DOS prompt (but not with the Matrox boards; see furthernotes below). I have not tested these programs under Windows NT.

If VESAMEM.EXE reports 16 MB or more, you should replace the original WordPerfect VESA.VRS graphics driver (found in your WordPerfect program directory) with a patched copy of VESA.VRS prepared by Haye van den Oever. The file is contained in this self-extracting Vesavrs.exe archive file; after downloading, Vesavrs.exe, run it in a temporary directory to extract the patched VESA.VRS file and copy it to your WordPerfect program directory. This patched version does not test for 16 MB ofmemory, and will work with any VESA-compatible graphics card, no matter what quantity of memory is reported by its BIOS . The patched version uses English to list theavailable video modes, but will work with any language-specificversion of WPDOS 6.x. If you want a version that lists the video modes inanother language, please contact me. If the original VESA driver works with your video card, you will not get any advantage from replacing it with the patched driver.

If Windows Update does not list an update, you will need to download a driver from the video card manufacturer's web site. You probably have video hardware made either by Nvidia, ATI, or Intel. To determine which you have, right-click on an empty area of the Windows desktop; choose Properties from the pop-up menu; and go to the Settings tab. Under "Display" you should see a description of your video hardware, in the form "[the name of your monitor] on [the name of your video hardware]." Write down the name of your video hardware.

If the name of your video hardware includes Nvidia, download a new driver fromNvidia's web site; start where it says "Start here" and follow the prompts. You should probably begin by clicking Graphics Driver; then select the hardware type that most closely matches the name of your video hardware; then your Windows version. Download and install the driver, following the instructions on the site.

If the name includes ATI, download a new driver fromATI (now AMD)'s web site; start by selecting your Windows version; then Graphic Driver; then the hardware type that most closely matches the name of your video hardware; if you do not find a close match, try Legacy Products instead of Graphic Driver in the middle column. Download and install the driver, following the instructions on the site.

If the name includes Intel, download a new driver fromIntel's web site; start by clicking Graphics from the column on the left; choose the graphics controller that most closely matches the name of your video hardware; select your Windows version; and download the driver marked "Latest Available" that does not say it is "intended for use by developers." Install the driver, following the instructions on the site. 2ff7e9595c
