I updated my driver for my nVidia 6600 GT (512mbs) graphics card as i hadn't updated it in well over 6 months, anyway after installed and rebooted the resoultion had changed from 1280 by 1024pxls to 800 by 600 pxls....anyway i thought this was just due to the settings being wiped from the new driver So i logged on and changed the resolution back to 1280 by 1024pxls everything ran fine for that time BUT now whenever i restart the computer it starts in 800 by 600pxls which is REALLY big for my monitor...is there anyway i can make it so it STICKS to 1280 by 1028pxls rather than having to manually change it every time i turn the computer on?
Same thing happened to me last night after upgrading my card, except mine defaulted to 640 X 480! I opted to roll back the driver to the previous version.
Yep, there is something screwy with the newest Forceware,since I updated mine for the 7600GS on my Amd and the 6600gt on the Intel system they both report that I have only a single graphics card and sli cannot be configured,I never had more than 1 card per computer! Either use your previous drivers or wait, they'll get it sorted out sooner or later.
Ok thanks for you feedback...will probs rollback as its getting annoying having to change it everytime i turn the computer on! If i have done some seriously virus and spyware removal will it make a differance if i rollback? Wont recreate them or anything?
You just need to roll back the driver, not do a system restore. In Device Manager, right click on your card/Properties, Driver/Roll Back driver.
