Display adapter problem
Hi
I have a problem with my display adapter at the moment. I have not changed anything on my PC recently but this week the pc is refusing to boot up properly. It boots through config sys etc and my screen usually turns off then comes back on into the windows login screen now it won't and turns off then reboots, if i go into safe mode it works and have found that in safe modei need to remove the display adapter from system properties reboot and then letit find the new display adapter and install then reboot to get the correct resolution. It then seems to beok for the rest of the day (i think even if i reboot though only tried that once) But come next day i must repeat the whole process again What i plan to do next is to reinstall the driver from CD not let it find the fiels on the hard drive as i am guessing that there is a corrupt file which is casuign the problem what i don't like is that i have to do it each day and wondering if there is a more severe problem any ideas? Regards Richard |

Display adapter problem
try this...
Reboot to Safe Mode Open Device Manager Remove ALL Display Adapters Remove ALL Monitors Remove ALL 'Other Devices' - if present Reboot to Normal Mode - Windows will reinstall the required drivers - hopefully curing your problem. See if that helps Are you also having to reset the time every day, by any chance? -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2006, Windows) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.crashfixpc.com/millsrpch.htm http://tinyurl.com/6oztj Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's "rsphorler" wrote in message oups.com...
