Guest Bakes Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 Everytime I download the latest windows update my display settings go to default: the display sets to the lowest resolution and all of my icons move from their original position. It is as if the computer boots into safe mode, (but the display does not indicate that specifically) I have tried saving the desktop theme to no avail. Each time I must reset all of the font sizes, re-arrange the icons and reset the resolution. sometimes I must reboot 4 of 5 times to get it back to normal. - if I simply reboot under normal conditions, this problem does not occur. What is causing this?

Guest JS Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 Re: Windows updates wreck display settings Try downloading and installing the drivers for your video card from the card manufacture's web site. Never use any driver updates available from MS Windows Update!

Guest PA Bear [MS MVP] Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 Re: Windows updates wreck display settings Don't install driver updates offered by Windows Update.
