Never mind solving problems with Windows; shit gets real when the thing boots to aC:\> prompt and you need to know things like the difference between CGA/EGA/VGA/Hercules graphics modes and WTF an IRQ is just to install your games in the first place.

Pop quiz: which graphics mode is that screenshot?

My guess is CGA, palette 1, high intensity.
