Display color quality

[Guest]

AMD athlon, NVIDIA geforce2 integrated- 32mb, Win XP Home Ed.
BIOS version 3.1

What happend was, the colors just suddenly got set at the lowest color
quality, and i am unable to change the quality (STUCK AT 4 BITS, and res.
stuck at 800/600). The monitor is detected with no problems, and the video
card is detected with no problems (they are enabled). And when i would come
back from a screen saver, or stand by, the screen would be black and white,
and if i would move the mouse, the screen flickers. also system restores are
unsuccesful.

Finally i get error messages at startup - something to do with
Springfld_ADV_Daemon:WKSCal.exe

and - error loading Windows\system32NVCPL MSDART get IUMS

What is all this crap? and HOW can I FIX this?

ps. its a new G.D PC!

Hi Joel,

Download the latest video driver set for your system and install it.

Hi Joel,

Not likely, but things change.
