Monitor stuck at 640x480/4 colors after driver update
Last response: in Windows XP
I've got a Lenovo T520, core i5 processor with integrated Intel 3000 HD video. Had to roll it back from Windows 7 to XP for work compatibility issues.
After installing XP, the monitor worked, and could be adjusted up to 1024x768. Problem is, I need the full 1600x900 of this display. So, I installed the Intel core drivers, the audio drivers, and the video driver. Also installed the monitor driver from the Lenovo website.
Once I did this, the resolution stayed the same. Then when I restarted, the resolution went to 640 x 480, and 4 colors! The only way to get it back was to disable the display, limiting me to 1024 x 768 again.
Tried MSCONFIG to selectively load executables, with no change.
Help!

Sorry about the wording. I forgot to mention my first step was to use the Lenovo driver. That was when the problem first occurred. On the Intel driver site, they suggested applying drivers in a certain order, with the chipset first, so I did that, with no joy. Lastly, applied the Lenovo driver again, no change.
Disabling the Intel video, though, restores the ability to change the resolution, but only up to a max of 1024x768.

Will do. I had already, of course, reloaded XP and the drivers several times, and tried the chipset first, but hadn't done the BIOS update. In the meantime, I dug up an old laptop and loaded it up, so the near term crisis was averted. As long as the screen doesn't fall off of the old laptop...
