IBM PC300PL (Type 6862, 6892)/PC300XL - Large font error switching to 640x480 resolution

Applicable to: World-Wide

SYMPTOM:
When the Task Bar is used to switch to 640x480 resolution from a higher resolution with large fonts (i.e. 800x600 or 1024x768), the large font is not changed to the default setting of Small Fonts for 640x480 resolution.

If the Display Properties window is opened to change screen resolutions, the buttons used to change the settings are displayed off the screen at 640x480 resolution.

PROBLEM ISOLATION AIDS:
This tip applies, but is not limited to, IBM PC300XL Series 6588 systems preloaded with Windows 95.

The condition has also been displayed in IBM PC300PL Series 6862/6892 systems preloaded with Windows 95.

FIX:
To reset the 640x480 resolution to the default setting with small fonts, use the Task Bar to switch to a higher resolution followed with the Display Properties window to switch back to 640x480 resolution. The system will then automatically switch to small fonts in 640x480 resolution when the system is re-started.
