Vista Desktop Settings

I got rid of my Nvidia Video Card and Went an Bought A ATI 512 Video CARD.


when I had the NVIDIA VIDEO CARD i updated drivers from windows update for windows vista.

Then The Display Desktop Re-Set and stopped Holding The Setting I had already had set in my computer settings.

The Display Setting's Went From 1280x1024 -to-800x600 .

By Buying a New Video card I thought that would solve the problem since Nvida screwed up with the help of a updated driver from microsoft,

Now How Do I fix The Display-Setting's On My Desktop After I re-start My COMPUTER the setting's should stay the same for what I set them to but they don't they go to 800x600 Game Mode and I don't Play Games.



Doe's any One here Know How to Alter RegEdit to fix this so that Display Setting's Stay the way there supposto be set after i set them even with the knew video card drivers.

Hi DjLevel9,

Welcome to the forum.

I would not use the driver updates from Windows Updates. Instead, I would use the ones straight from the manufacturer. They usually work better and more up to date. For ATI, see:

Hope this helps,

I do not know where the registry settings are for this.

If you have a Vista Express or Retail DVD, then I would try doing a Repair install. This will allow you to repair your Vista installation without losing your files, settings, and programs.

After this, install the driver from ATI's site in the above post.
