Works 2.00 Err Msg: Driver Installed Does Not Fully Utilize…

MS-DOS

= SUMMARY =

Works Version 2.00 operates properly on a VGA card using EGA.VID as the screen driver. However, the Works Version 2.00 tutorial does not operate correctly if the screen driver is not the correct .VID file for that display card. If you attempt to run the Works 2.00 tutorial program using EGA.VID with a VGA card, you receive the error message “Driver installed does not fully utilize your hardware,” and the program quits.

Therefore, if your VGA card does not work correctly with VGA.VID as the screen driver, a trade-off must be made. If you want to run in graphics mode, view charts, or preview printouts, you can use EGA.VID as the screen driver. However, this means you cannot use the tutorial.

If you want to use the tutorial, then delete SCREEN.VID. However, you cannot use graphics mode, view charts, or preview printouts.
