- It seems when you install the system clean, and without installing the
- hires video drivers, you get the WIN_RUNMODE option. At least I did when I
- installed it a few days ago here at work. When I installed the 800x600x256
- ATI XL drivers, the option disappeared. The same thing happened with the
- WD90C30 drivers.
-
- Does this mean that if I re-install the DOS/Windows support, this will
- come back?
