When you use a DOS application that supports only the 640x480 resolution
(VGA mode), the screen image might look slightly distorted or might appear
smaller than the display size. This is to maintain compatibility with other DOS
applications. To expand the screen image to the same size as the actual
screen, start the ThinkPad Configuration program and click on LCD (
); then
select the Screen expansion function. (The image might still look slightly
