nvlddmkm.sys BSOD, low color depth, no Aero
When I awoke today, I was greeted by a blue screen involving nviddmkm.sys, and when I rebooted, all of the settings were cockeyed on my monitors.
I have squared everything, except that I'm stuck with 16 bit color depth and the basic theme, instead of Aero. The theme problem is due to the low color depth and that appears to be due to the Windows Desktop Display Service not functioning properly, however checking in Services, it is reported as functioning properly. I restarted the service, but that had no effect.
I attempted to do a System Restore, but it says that there are no restore points available. The only thing left that comes to mind is reinstalling the Nvidia driver, but I wanted to touch base here first.
Any other ideas?
