Open VGA File

Files with a VGA extension are normally used as a Windows driver that supports VGA monitors; allows the user to adjust video parameters such as screen resolution and color depth through the native Windows Monitors control panel; obviously these files were only used in the first versions of Windows even when VGA monitors were commonly used.
