New display driver worse than VGA standard
Hi,
I have installed Vista on a fairly old laptop - an Acer Aspire 1360 with onboard Graphics. All is OK initially, with the 'Standard VGA' adapter driver, and I am able to use the full 1280x800 widescreen native resolution. However, Microsoft now have a 'High Priority' update for me, which is the 'correct' display adapter driver. Unfortunately, when this driver is loaded, the max resolution available to me is 800x600. I can (and did) rollback to the Standard VGA driver, and all was OK, but then Auto-update 'helpfully' re-updated me to the 'new' driver. I want to leave auto-update enabled for any security-related updates (and so Windows Live OneCare stays 'green', not 'red'), but this seems to be impossible. Is there any way to disallow a *specific* update from Windows Update? Many thanks in advance! -Paul. |
