Re: display settings adjusted automatically

Bob,
Not sure what you mean, on the advanced tab the only thing related to acceleration is the troubleshooting tab. I don't have any option to load an adapter scheme. There is a setting where you can have the system ask for permission to change the graphics settings, and that was put as automatic (it doesn't ask), but when I changed that and restarted the system, nothing had changed, the resolution is still switched back, automatically, to 800x600. Aaargh!

Sometimes there some setting in display properties for this adapter called "advanced settings" and the Adapter can be configured to load a particular "scheme". Please go to Display Properties, Settings, Advanced button, and look for "Accelerator driver" or similar.

Bob,
I found & installed the inf file for my monitor. It did not help; my system still resets the resolution on boot every time.

I didn't see a "correct .inf" in a quick google. But if you got a CD with the monitor, it should be on there. And you can use update driver in Device Manager, Monitor, Properties, to load it.

That is one strange thing. When I got the graphics card, the system no longer saw my monitor, but used it as the standard monitor. The vendor said this was normal, to be expected because the expected way for my system to behave would be via the onboard graphics. He said just put the resolution and refresh rate that I had before, and it would work fine. And it did, for a while - until I did the repair of the windows installation. I have a Hyundai ImageQuest L50 LCD flatscreen, supposedly plug and play. How would I install the inf file for it?

In that case have you installed the .inf file for your monitor? that would be the other possible cause for it to be picking a "safe resolution"

I tried that, but the only thing that helps with is I can now reload my settings a little quicker. I still get the autoadjust. My driver is the correct and latest model, downloaded from nvidia's website.

Perhaps there is a corruption problem with your profile and the settings aren't being saved? Try create another and see if it's working there?

I recently repaired my windows xp pro installation, and must have OK'd a dialog box asking to automatically adjust my display settings. I don't like the settings I get, and every time I reboot, they get readjusted. How can I get my display settings to stick? WHere do I turn off the automatic display adjustment?
Please help.
Thanks in advance.


Hi Margo,
When you done your Installation did you install the Video Driver for your motherboard from the Manufacturer who built your Motherboard if your Video Card integrated into the motherboard?.
Don't download the update or the driver for your Video from MS it is advisable not to do,just from the Manufacturer.
Which you have know is the default Driver from Windows, so know the Manufacturer of your Motherboard and Install the Right Driver for your Video Dispaly.
HTH.
Please let us know.

nass, thanks for your reply.
As far as I can see (in the driver properties for the display) the driver was not reinstalled or updated. I have the latest driver from the manufacturer. I have a separate graphics card, and have disabled the on-board graphics. Everything worked well before. And my main display problem now is this automatic adjust, which resets my screen to 800x600 every time I (re) start windows. My graphics card is a 64MB nvidia pci card, if that helps.
Margo.
