Yep, I get funny looks from others when I use debug to determine what
video
chipset is in unknown machines so I know what updated drivers to download. (Seriously -- in XP, do start->run->cmd then type
debug then type "d
c000:0000"
enter then enter again.)
Hmmm, I must have the DEC OMPILATION chipset, 'cause c800:0 has:
DEC
OMPILATION OR DI
SASSEMBLY PROHIB
ITED
Who'da guessed that DEC (somewhere, somehow) is still making chips?
Actually, it's an Intel 82815, but I got that from Settings->Control
Panel->System->Hardware->Device Manager->Display Adapters.
I could have also found out by right-clicking the desktop and selecting
Properties->Settings->Advanced->Adapter (that is, if I had the right
display driver installed).
Or I could have checked the registry...
