7.3.1 Selecting video mode when booting from the rescue media

When booting from the rescue 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 rescue media. When the boot menu appears, hover the mouse over

Acronis True Image Home 2012 (Full version) 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 Home 2012 (Full version) in the boot menu to continue booting from

the rescue 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 Home 2012 (Full version) 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 Home 2012 and repeat the above procedure.
