Screen Resolution

[Guest]

After an update from microsoft I had rebooted for update to take effect.
When I did my screen resolution was at 8 bit. Through control panel I reset
the resolution to 32 bit. However at approximately every 2 minutes +- my
resolution flips back to 8 and then 2 mins later back to 32. Any ideas

Check with the manufacturer of your graphics card for an updated driver.
Also consider removing the driver and re-installing it as it may have become
corrupted in the process.

Your video adapter drivers probably need to be reinstalled.
Visit the support web site of the manufacturer of your video
card adapter and download the latest drivers.

Before installing them, uninstall the old drivers. In your
Control Panel, open the Add or Remove Programs applet
and look for your video drivers to uninstall.

If you happen to have a notebook computer, visit the notebook
manufacturer's support website to download the correct video
adapter drivers for your specific notebook model.

After installing a fresh set of drivers, right-click on your
desktop and select Properties > Settings, change the Color
Quality to "Highest (32 bit), then adjust your Screen Resolution
to your liking, then click on Apply.
