Are you implying a need to reset to VGA before applying a FixPak? It
sounds a bit like that, and this is totally outside of my experience. I
have never touched my 1024x786x64K settings on my original MGA Mill, and
never had any hiccups as a result. After the new installation and a
reboot, my video settings are just as they were prior to the new FP
install, nearly all of which have been via the RSU option; an option
that I continue to recommend to others (particularly those having
problems with an FP install).  Good Modeming!  /\oo/\

BTW, in OS/2, one applies a fixpak (not a fixpack). VIOLA!  {^;
