i have a problem with my (new) pc at work ... it has windows xp preinstalled .. i only installed xp once (after a clean format) .. and didnt use it much yet
all was working fine until i installed 'pc anywhere' .. it warned me it wouldnt work fine under xp .. but i was curious .. and it seems to work
but after installing it my display settings went to 800x600 with 16 colors with no other options
(i had it at 1024x768 with 32 bit colors)
so i reinstalled the graphics driver .. and i could chose 1024x768 with 32 bits colors once again
after a reboot though i was even set back to 640x480 with 16 colors .. with no other options
i had to remove the graphics/display driver, reboot, reinstall the drivers .. and all is working fine again
now each time i reboot i am set back to 800x600 with 16 colors .. i then remove the drivers, reboot, reinstall the drivers and it works fine until the next reboot
i am logged in as admin .. can install and change anything i want ... which is also saved ..
only my display settings/driver isnt saved :(
(another program is running 'pc angel' .. i dont know it .. its for recovery purposes .. i cant find where to stop it from starting up .. its not in the normal list in 'msconfig' .. maybe thats the cause of my problems ?)
does anyone have any clue what is going on ? (and how to fix it ;))
