Multiple identical desktop images on single monitor.

Try to change settings to "Default" in the control panel of your video card.

Matan:

I am using an Intel Chipset driver and in the Graphic Properties, there is not a Restore Default option. This thing is locked into 640x480 resolution and 63Mhz refresh rate. I have tried a system recovery but that did not work. It looks like a sheet of Avery business cards where you have individual cards in 2 rows, all on the one monitor. I hook up an external monitor and it is normal. one desktop that fills up the entire screen. the laptop has 6 individual images and i can find nothing to turn it off and set it back to normal.

I don't know if it will work for you, but it's worth giving a try:

Try to download the latest Chipset drivers from Intel site:
http://edc.intel.com/Software/Downloads/IEGD/#download

I now have an identical problem- display ok in safe mode, but restoring back to a previous date does not resolve the issue. Any ideas, I have the driver disc if I need to reinstall the drivers-- or if worst case scenario to reinstall a disc image taken over a year ago, but thats the last resort

Uninstalling and re-installing the driver does not work. I have also done a complete system recovery and that did not work either. I hooked up an external monitor and it shows normal desktop. So I am coming to the conclusion it is a fault in the hardware itself or a glitch in the liquid matrix of the laptop's flat panel monitor. May have to replace the motherboard and the lcd screen to fix; just don't know if that will do it!
