Have you checked the status of your hardware in the device manager, under display adapters?
Win XP PRO SP1
The last time my computer had a problem, where the screen suddenly changed to a lower resolution and there were some 'noise' down the right side of the monitor during Windows log-in, the computer gave notice, to the effect that " Windows has detected a serious system error and is recovering from it..." It did. The problem has now occurred again (same symptoms), but Windows is not automatically recovering. Is there a way to evoke Windows to detect the problem and to automatically recover from it ? I have ran chkdsk /f, but there were no 'reports'. BTW, at Event Viewer, around that time, were, for'system', "X "XError...IdeChnDr...None 9" and "! Warning.......disk....None.....51" The computer seems to work OK, but the screen resolution cannot be changed.
Thanks.
