screen resolution different for one user account?
I have one administrator account and several limited user acoounts. All
users have screen res of 1024 x 768 at 85hz. All work, except my administrator account. When I log in it starts up at the correct res, then goes blank for a second, then to the lowest res without me touching anything. I have set my nvidia res at 1024, I have set steam game launch for half life 2 at 1024. I reset display in control panel, I log out after changes, restart the pc and go in again and the same thing happens? I have up to date mcafee virus protection and regularly clean out spyware and adware. Any idea whats resetting my res in this one account? thanks |

This may be caused by some problem with loading the drivers. -- (tm) |

Do you mean the nvidia drivers? I am not sure how to do this for just one
users account. Aren't the drivers shared across all accounts? So do I uninstall and then re-install for everyone or is there a "repair" option usually? thanks "Thorsten Matzner" wrote: mcwhirter wrote: I have one administrator account and several limited user acoounts.

So do I uninstall and then re-install for everyone or is there a "repair" option usually? One possibility: remove the video card from the Device Manager and then restart Windows. The drivers will be reinstalled when Windows starts again. If you installed the drivers manually from a CD, re-run Setup to repair the driver installation. -- (tm) |
