13.2.1 Selecting video mode when booting from the bootable
media
When booting from the bootable media the optimal video mode is selected automatically depending
on the specifications of your video card and monitor. However, sometimes the program can select
the wrong video mode, which is unsuitable for your hardware. In such case you can select a suitable
video mode as follows:
1. Start booting from the bootable media. When the boot menu appears, hover the mouse over
Acronis True Image 2021 item and press the F11 key.
2. When the command line appears, type "vga=ask" (without quotes) and click OK.
3. Select Acronis True Image 2021 in the boot menu to continue booting from the bootable media.
To see the available video modes, press the Enter key when the appropriate message appears.
4. Choose a video mode you think best suitable for your monitor and type its number in the
command line. For instance, typing 338 selects video mode 1600x1200x16 (see the below figure).
5. Wait until Acronis True Image 2021 starts and make sure that the quality of the Welcome screen
display on your monitor suits you.
To test another video mode, close Acronis True Image 2021 and repeat the above procedure.
