   I doubt that your program ever gets even near the BIOS when running   
   under Windows XP. When running in a VDM, all accesses to the "BIOS" by   
   your program are intercepted by Windows XP and emulated (that's part of   
   what the M of VDM means).   
      
   It seems to me that the Windows driver for your video card doesn't   
   emulate all VGA modes properly for Dos programs (note that it's quite   
   possible that the card itself does support them properly, but that won't   
   help you as long as you are running under Windows NT/2000/XP/2003/...).
