I have a Viglen 486 laptop running DOS 6.22, OpenGem and Windows for workgroups 3.11.
Some of my Apps wouldn't work because I only had 16 colours. So I changed the resolution and colours in Windows Setup. Typical of me, I choose a setup that my LCD monitor, nor the monitor connected to it, supports. So, after the startup screen, everything goes black.
How can I undo this?

From the DOS prompt type setup and press Enter. You will be able to reset Windows to the default VGA display.

Life was a lot simpler then.  ;)

Please post as much information about your computer, operating system, and problem as possible, what happened prior to problems, etc. Too much info is OK, too little is pointless! Don't just say "My computer doesn't work. What's wrong?"

Yar, thank ye.
All sorted.

I think having a choice of three OS/Shells is great, its funny, I can start GEM in DOS, then started windows in GEM, then start GEM in Windows, until I run out of memory.
