The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Windows versions 3.0, 3.0a, 3.1, 3.11

-

SUMMARY
The following EGA displays are supported under Windows Versions 2.x but are not supported under Windows 3.0 or later:

  EGA with high-resolution color display (black and white) EGA with high-resolution monochrome display EGA with low-resolution color display The only EGA selection for Windows 3.0 and later is &quot;EGA Color,&quot; which corresponds to the Windows 2.x &quot;EGA with High-Resolution Color Display&quot; selection.

MORE INFORMATION
Windows 2.x works correctly with EGA cards with less than 256K of memory installed, including the display selections that are no longer supported. Windows 3.0 and later requires EGA cards with 256K of memory installed.

The only workaround for EGA cards with less than 256K of memory is to select CGA. Note: This workaround will not work with Windows 3.1 unless you have the CGA driver, which does not come with Windows 3.1.
