Windows Forum / Windows Me / Setup / August 2004Settings on desktop won't change
Hello, I followed advice given earlier to fix my system, but now I get this problem. When i boot up windows ME, the desktop is very 'large' and 'rough edges'. The computer IS NOT in safe mode, although the graphics resemble that they are. When I go to properies then settings I try to change them (currently set at 640 X 480) to 800X 600, i get a message saying my computer must be restarted for the changes to take effect. I click OK to restart, but when rebooted the settings do not change and are on 640 x 480. How can I change this? Everything else seems to be working great! Sounds like your Display Adapter driver is no longer being properly recognised, is incorrectly set-up, or is corrupted. Boot into Safe Mode and in Device Manager, 'Remove' any/all Display Adapters and Monitors and then re-boot. WinMe *should* re-detect (Plug&Play) your video card and monitor and then should install the 'correct' drivers. If it still doesn't help, you'll need to install the latest WinMe driver for your Video Card (Adapter) which you should be available to download from the card manufacturers web site.

Thanks for the advice, I ended up fixing it anyway. I has run msconfig and was using selective start up by accident. One switch back and I'm good. >-----Original Message----- >Sounds like your Display Adapter driver is no longer being properly [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] > >.
