Don... on a side note... EVERY TIME I DO A FRESH INSTALL ON A DELL =
SYSTEM...
after installing the OS and doing all the updates, many times Windows =
Update
will find an updated driver for the video card.
99.9% of the time, if I accidentally download and install that update, =
the
video driver gets all screwed up in a manner you just explained. I then =
have
to either use the original driver disk or download the latest driver =
from
whoever the manufacturer is. That then fixes the issue. This only =
happens on
Dell systems, for some reason. So, you may want to download the latest
drivers from the manufacturer's website, then uninstall and reinstall =
the
new drivers.
