VESA 1024 x 768 @ 85 Hz.
To set the Resolution:
1. Right-click on the Windows desktop.
2. Click Properties on the drop-down menu.
3. Click the Settings tab.
4. Move the slider pointer which displays in the Desktop area or Screen area in the window.
Note : The refresh rate should already be set if you have done the CD installation (or refer to
your graphics card documentation).
