Mike-
There's a built in software utility pgm called BWUT. Type that- 'BWUT' - at
the DOS prompt and you get a few options presented. Option 8 is the video
state-- set that to VGA if it isn't already. Then use option 7 -display
selection- to set the display to CRT rather than LCD. It helps to hook up
the external display before you it of course!
