Damn Microsoft. They went and got all sneaky on me doing a Windows update while I slept, then rebooting when it was finished of course. I’ve sat her for a couple hours not even realizing my Trillian wasn’t running.

But I think it did something to my drivers for my wide screen monitor, because I cannot get it to go any higher than a 1024 X 768 resolution. In fact that isn’t even a wide screen resolution, right? Did anyone else run into this today?

After doing some digging around on Google I realized I wasn’t the only one. The update just blew out the video drivers, so I had to go to the Dell website, download the new drivers and install them. That didn’t seem to work, in fact, it made it worse. It’s telling me that my laptop is 2, and the wide screen monitor is 1 (dual monitors). BOOO! That’s not how I like it.

Oh well, I just disabled the monitor for now, and I will be working with one screen today. I’ll try to look at it more tonight. It’s awful. I hate computers. I wish I didn’t depend on them as much as I do

Windows Updates, video drivers
