Default display settings default to 16 colors ??Smc not responding

Do a Search on your PC for files named "SMC.EXE" - r-click on any found, and
see where they originate (click Properties, and look at the Version
details) -post back with details.

Reboot to Safe Mode
Open Device Manager
Remove ALL Display Adapters
Remove ALL Monitors
Reboot to Normal Mode - Windows will reinstall the required drivers -
hopefully curing your problem.

be
reset through display/settings


with "-alt-ctrl -del" - Smc not responding is highlighted, end task
frees
the computer but could this be an indication of the underlying problem

the fault seems to have arrisen since i have been usingdigital cameras
