Annoying screen resolution reminder
Hi,
Windows 7 keeps giving me a pop up reminder that my screen resolution is not optimum and that the optimum resolution is 1280 x 1024. The annoying thing is that this actually IS the native resoltion of the monitor I'm using, and it IS the screen res I've set (actually it was set autmatically) in windows. So every time I boot up I get a reminder popping u, reminding me to do something I'm already doing. Any Ideas? Thanks F |

Lets try this, set it at a resolution that you do not want. Then when told to do so click ok or whatever. You may fool the computer into thinking you actually made the changes.

Yes check these in the registry:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NVSvc\Start (change to 4) HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\ (see below) Look for video related start up software and delete them. Intel: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\igfxhkcmd" HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\igfxpers HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\igfxtray HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\HotKeysCmds HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\Persistence nVida: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\NvCplDaemon HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\NVHotkey HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\NvMediaCenter HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\nwiz etc. |

@rich, yes that was my first thought. Tried it, and unfortunately, it still happens. Thank for the suggestion.
@ WindowStar er...OK. I may give that a go. But that looks like the kind of poking and tweaking that I fully expected to do in an OS which I downloaded for nothing, but not one I paid £90 for. Are you really telling me I need to do the equivalent of manually editing conf files to get windows to play nice with a bog-standard monitor? Again, thanks for your help. I do appreciate it, and I'll try it if necessary, but I feel uneasy poking about in the registery. |

The registry is the brains of the OS, if you touch it make a system restore point first. In addition back up registry.
