Topic: weird resolution issue (xp)

[Steve]

Wondering if you guys ever ran into this cause I can't figure it out.

Customers young child screwed her resolution so bad you can't see anything. So I used safemode to change the resolution back, booted up and its fine. But everytime you restart it, the resolution goes back to fucked up. I even managed to fix it in reg mode with some guesswork since I know my way around. Still resets when you reboot.

Any ideas?

Startup items?
MSConfig?

[Steve]

No infections, msconfig has been swapped to diagnostic and custom doesn't make a difference.

Its like it isn't saving profile settings

Uninstall the original driver (the actual fix) then install the driver.  Issue fixed.

Worth a shot, will report back

Yeah, I'd say Knuck is spot on.

Negative ghost rider. All three versions of the video driver gave same result. I even gave drivercleaner a shot at it just in case. Seems to be a windows problem....

Fuck me I'm clueless

I rarely even have issues, I'm here to solve your issues

Figured I would update the thread with the fix. There is a string in the registry for the profile. The value of the string dictates if a change requiring profile updating has been made so that it saves the profile on reboot.

Google led me to it. Fix was to delete the string and restart. After that I fixed the resolution and restarted and it stuck.
