WinXP Pro SP3 + patches up to Nov 2008
What makes WinXP forget its display settings? My user set her PC display to
1280x1024 with the highest color quality (32-bit). Occasionally, her PC
display settings goes back to 1024x768. A restart fixes the problem. Note:
she doesn't have to change display settings back to 1280x1024 before
restarting the PC.
I've updated her display adapter driver (it's an on-board Intel display
adapter) to the latest version that I got from IBM/Lenovo site. The PC is
Lenovo Thinkcenter model 9167-A2U.
Nothing in the log indicates corrupted profile. Other than messed up display
settings every now and then, everything else looks intact (eg: Outlook
profile, desktop icons, printer settings, My Documents content etc... they
all remain intact). That tells me that there is nothing wrong with the user
profile.
Any thoughts?
