Only Black And White Display On GRiD Laptop |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: A customer can only see black and white in WP on a GRiD 1755 386SX laptop computer. The customer would like the ability to have 16 shades of gray so that the different text attributes in WP will display differently. Solutions: GRiD Laptops have a program in the UTIL directory called Set1755. The program's name will vary because the last four characters of the name are the model number of the computer. Once in the Set1755 program, the customer has a menu with several choices. The customer should enter the first section, Video, then disable the Max Contrast mode. The Space Bar toggles the settings between enable and disable. The customer should then enter the Power/Colorset section and make sure that the reverse option is enabled. The customer should save these settings and exit the Set1775 program. The computer will automatically reboot. Enter WP again and select the IBM 80x25 16-color text driver. There should now be 16 shades of gray in WP 5.1. How/Why: The Max Contrast setting for this machine sets the display mode to black and white. Graphical programs like Windows and DOSSHELL will still have shades of gray but text based programs like WP 5.1 for DOS will be in black and white. |
