I have a Dell Inspiron 1545 with integrated Intel graphics running Win XP Pro. Within the last week, after logging in to Windows, only a blue screen appears with no desktop icons. This is not a BSOD - just a plain blue desktop. Rebooting has usually resulted in a successful boot, but no longer.
Multiple forums suggested disabling the display adapter in Device Manager and then rebooting. Supposedly, the video drivers would reload.
So I disabled the display adapter and rebooted. Windows reported that it had found new hardware, but no matter where I pointed or what I tried, it was unable to find the driver,
Booting to safe mode with networking produced a working desktop. Booting normally produced New Hardware Found dialog with no successful completion.
Eventually, I booted to the boot menu (by pressing the F8 key while booting), and selected "restore to last known working configuration". That at least gave me a working desktop without being in safe mode. But the only display resolutions currently available are 800x600 and 1024x768,
The video driver is R203389.exe. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling multiple times. The Intel Graphics Media Accelerator Driver installation proceeds through the registry keys and hangs at "Installing Driver: Mobile Intel 4 Series Express Chipset Family, Vermont 6.14.10.4990."
How can I get a full range of display resolutions working?
Thanks for your help.
