Reduce the size of the color palette to one that is supported by the computer's internal display. The display mode is set to Simultaneous and the external display device does not work. Make sure the device is capable of displaying at resolutions of 800 x 600 or higher. Devices that do not support this resolution will only work in Internal/External mode. Disk drive problems Problems with the hard disk or with a diskette drive usually show up as an inability to access the disk or as sector errors.
