Everytime I restart my computer, my visual setting default to the lowest
version. It's strange because the computer opens windows, shows the
background in the highest form, then the screen turns black for a second or
two, returns with the lower setting. I have tried resetting numerous times
in the Display Properties - Settings - Color Quality (always showing 8-bit
and I reset to 32 bit). I hit Apply and everything is fine until the next
start-up. The driver is NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600. The monitor (because this
is a laptop) I'm assuming is the default. The screen refresh rate is 60
hertz. The display says: 1. (Multiple Monitors) on NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600;
Screen resolution 1280x800 pixels.
When I press the other display (2 in the background) it says: Default
Monitor on NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600; Screen Resolution 640x480 pixels/32 bit
color. I've tried resetting Windows Default settings to Custom with no luck.
How can I permanently install the correct settings?
