  original title: Auto Adjust

  Hello.

  Whenever we start to use our computer, the screen goes black and the message 'Auto adjust is in Prgress'. Then, all of our screen is small and all the icons and pages are smaller than before.

  I tried restoring the system that works and that gets our screen back to normal but every day that this Auto setting is coming and we can't seem to stop it.

  Any help would be appreciated... Thank you

  Try this:

  Go to the Web site of the manufacturer of your laptop computer-graphics/computer card > drivers and downloads Section > key in your model number > look for the latest Vista drivers > download/install them.

  Then:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-AU/Windows-Vista/change-screen-resolution

  Change the screen resolution

  Screen resolution refers to the clarity of the text and images on your screen. At higher resolutions, items appear sharper. They appear also smaller, so more items adapted to the screen. At lower resolutions, fewer items adapted to the screen, but they are larger and easier to see. At very low resolutions, however, images may have serrated edges.

Programs that remained must be reinstalled for some reason any. Help, please. I just want to know what happened and make sure that I do not have a virus. Thank you.

  Hello

  There is no way sure of 100% to prevent it from happening again, and we don't really know the cause.
  A glitch like this is sometimes due to an update (Windows, the utility of the Antivirus system manufacturer, or)
  another program) and the cure is just another reboot, as it was this time. Although the actual cause is
  still unknown.

  Good for backups of your data, switch off the machine, and follow these steps.

  1 make a Restore Point (how to restore the link is only if you need to do).
