Automatic updates and the resolution of the screen

Yesterday I received an automatic update (April 19 GMT + 9 hours) and found that, although my desktop screen resolution is unchanged, everytime I open a program that uses the default screen resolution 640 x 480. I tried to re - apply my screen resolution settings and their reset through my graphics card. None of these options worked.

Has anyone else experienced this problem and found a solution that does not cause a relocation?

No member of MS can answer what driver updates are available as what is offered depends on what hardware Windows Update 'think' he finds on your computer. If the restoration of video drivers does not work, no, you don't need to reinstall Windows! You just have to reinstall video drivers. See my first response to find out where to get video drivers or post back with information on what type of computer you have if you want more help. If you have a generic computer built, understand what graphics card you have. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • Cannot turn off automatic updates and the Error Message on Loadup and Peridoically subsequently

    The following error message appears when the computer starts up, when I click on "check for updates", when I try to turn off the automatic updates in the preferences and at random times.  In the preferences, more precisely, I am able to choose the area that must go out looking for updates, but when I try to save the setup I get this exact error message.

    The computer is an old laptop running Windows XP.  I think that it's Windows XP is a key reason why the error occurs.  That said I can't replace the laptop right now so I would turn off rather updated.  I've updated to the latest version of Adobe Reader from the Adobe Web site.  The new version added a 4th checkbox in the section to turn off the automatic updates, but I always get the same exact error message.

    Is there a hidden Windows Settings folder I have can be directed to Adobe Reader?  A file where I can change the automatic updates option from 1 to 0 to turn it off?  Because the software does not work.

  • Please help - Virus? Can not enable automatic updates and blue screens during the virus scan

    Hi, I think I might have a virus.  Here are the symptoms:

    • I can't activate the automatic updates
    • MS Security Essentials blue-screens in an analysis complete (I can do a quick scan)
    • I was able to run a quick scan of the Scanner for MS without problem.
    • When you open Internet Explorer I always get "stopped unexpectedly" and it gives me a choice to go to the previous page or home page
    • I have AVG Antivirus but it was blue-screening during a scan, so I uninstalled and installed MS Security Essentials
    • I ran a chkdsk /r and no errors not found on my hard drive

    I searched the internet and I tried a few suggestions, but so far I have not made progress.

    I am running XP SP3 and I don't remember disabling the automatic updates.

    I am open to any suggestions, just some guidelines at this stage.

  • Change the resolution of the screen and the screen went black

    Then I tried to change the resolution of the screen and the screen went black.  I tried to restart, plug in my HDMI port on my TV... Nothing.  So I went with a system refresh (yes I'm sure it was a refresh and not a restore).

    The fact that there is no integrated procedure to detect the moment where that happens and return to the old resolution is annoying enough...  But now after that choose the system update and it would be only to reset the settings to default back and keep all the files (as he said it would be), I am extremely frustrated to know that it has deleted ALL my programs.  Program E-v-e-r-y.  This means that Chrome, Firefox, jGrasp, AutoCAD, all my programs Microsoft Office, all my Adobe stuff, my Visual Studio and so much more that I'm not naming.

    I REALLY hope there is a place where they were stored so I don't have to reinstall everything manually.  If not, then wow, Microsoft... We finished.

    Unfortunately a refresh as he said, only maintains personal records (program data), the data can be located in the "in the"Windows"folder windows.old folder normally C /: Drive, all modern apps should be kept."

    All programs of office/legacy (Chrome, Firefox, jGrasp, etc.) need to be relocated from their original sources

    Keep all of your programs, personal files (data), settings, the best option is to create a "Disk Image" - see link below for info.

    Important This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click on the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base.

  • Help the clean installation of Windows 7 Pro and using the GPO to run automatic updates and restart all night

    I am trying to solve a problem that will probably require a new installation of Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. The grace period ends in 3 days, and the next 30 days are final exams at the College. I have 2 licenses (and product key) of Windows 7 Pro, but my drive HARD goes wrong and I don't want to use MAK activation. I will be eventually to replace the disk, but is now bad timing.

    If a reinstall is needed, I was going to ask if anyone knows how to set the strategy of perhaps a GPO where Windows is updated automatically in the background and after installing updates, 45 or 60 minutes, then restart. The goal would be to have a computer fully patched when I wake up in the morning.

    This is my plan:

    Install Windows 7 Pro SP1 64 bit > Windows automatically updated and plug the Ethernet cable > define a GPO where the computer waiting for 45 to 60 minutes after installation of updates (so the msi may end in the background, and I do not interrupt the installation) > the PC will restart > more update swill be downloaded and installed > wait due to the policy of GPO before reboot > Reboot > do it until it's over. > wake up with a PC fully patched 7-9 hours later.

    Is this a workable plan?, and if so, how do I define policies such as delay restarting, etc. to achieve?

    The reset did not work. It would be a simple solution. I have a valid license, but I don't want to replace the HARD drive until after final exams are over, so I'll reinstall and activate. I try to achieve in the next 24 hours, so it doesn't keep me from my school work.  I must also support and will then replace my files.

    Feel free to advanced used terminology. I have some experience.

    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Another question: should I install a security suite before all updates being installed more than 12 hours, or wait until later? What is the level of risk?

    OK, so I have the Toshiba Satellite L405D-11V, I had a breakdown, basically, the computer freezes at any time and the screen would go black, with the fan and lights still ongoing, this could be at the start, or a few hours using the laptop, so I decided to ring Toshiba technology support and they arranged for my laptop to collect and be expelled for repairs.

    I was able to track repairs online via the tracking service and was able to see what they were doing to my laptop, he said that they have ordered a part, it was underway and the repairs are completed.

    However, I got the laptop back today, I turn it on, all right, I start using the cell phone that everything is fine, so I decide to watch a video on youtube, and it freezes again, so I turned off now pressed the power button, hoping he wasn't that a large, I turn back to and load the video once again it freezes and the screen goes black again, after that whenever I am watching a video or a game, it causes the computer to crash and freeze as before the repairs. So there is always a mistake, but I'm not sure what to do

If this fault happened to someone else, I could use you some help, and if someone could shed some light regarding what could be bad?

    Hey Buddy,

    You changed something on the configuration after you got your notebook back from repair? You update a driver, or something else?
    What operating system you use on your L405D satellite?

    To be honest it is really hard to say why it happens because technicians test to check if your laptop is running correctly.

    In my opinion you should try to update the display driver. Maybe it's the origin of the problem of s
    If this isn't the case, I recommend installing Windows from Toshiba Recovery disk to restore to factory settings. These parameters are pre-tested by Toshiba and should work.

    If you still have the problem, you must contact the technicians again. I mean you could track the online repair and according to your assignment, everything worked well during repair, so in my opinion he should t be a problem to contact guys exactly.
    Explain your very detailed problem. I think that everything can be clarified then. :)

  • Satellite Pro 6000 freezes and the screen is weird random pattern

    Hello

    I recently bought a SP6000 second-hand advertised as having "graphics problems". After 10 minutes or use the laptop freezes and the screen has a strange random pattern all acorss it. The speakers are also a strange hum. I have to stop the laptop and restart.

    I've updated the bios and drivers for card video from the toshiba site, but he always does. Can anyone help?

    Hello

    It's not easy to say why this problem occurs. You have purchased a second hand unit. It is possible that your device has a hardware malfunction, but I can't give you an answer why it is happening. I suppose that temperature increases after 10 min of use.
    Maybe this could be a problem. It could also be a fault of the motherboard. But these are just suggestions. In my opinion, you should ask the service for detailed information.

  • Computer is humming, fan turns on and the screen is blank when I start computer

When I took the computer to the repair shop, he had no problem with him right there.  If the computer remains stationary, the problem persists, but once it is moved in a certain way, it will start normally. Specifically, I spilled on the computer and the problem stopped.  I have a hard time to explain a problem to the repair shop when it no longer exists at the time wherever I have it get there. Is there a more permanent solution that mess up the computer?

    When I tried to turn on my computer, I get a buzzing sound, then the fan came and the screen remained blank.  I tried to restart after an hour, but it's the same, what's the problem? >

    Hello DempseyBullock,

    Sorry, you experience this problem.  The first thing I would say is contact the manufacturer of your computer.  Also, I suggest to go to the manufacturer's Web site to confirm that there is no news updates for the drivers, firmware, or BIOS updates.
