System Restore Problem

[ramone_kalsaw]

I just installed some Acrobat pdf files from an Adobe Photoshop 5.5 CD onto my harddrive. The files downloaded fine, but something happened that's forcing my screen settings to 1600x1200 whenever I boot or standby/hibernate. Also, I'm not able now to use the destop background .jpg I had been using (it's no longer an option) and the desktop backgrounds that come standard with Windows are showing up 'pixelated."

 

I ran Windows System Restore several times and get the message that the restoration was successful; and everything looks good until at the last moment, before the O/S fully boots, the settings/resolution problem reappears.

 

I ran system restore three times, but this problem won't 'let go.'

 

Can you offer a suggestion to fix this?

 

Thanks!

To change the resolution, right-click on the desktop (blank area) and select PROPERTIES from the list. Click the SETTINGS tab and select the resolution and color quality you need.

I've been changing the settings, but the problem is they won't hold: they keep reverting back to 1600x1200 instead of the 800x600 I've selected.

Do you have the latest Service Pack (SP2) and are the current patches installed?

Try this and see if the problem is corrected. In Display Properties remove the desktop image you have selected and change it to "none". Then change the video resolution and reboot.

 

Maybe the desktop image is to large and this is whats resetting the resolution.
