Check:
Right ckick on desktop.- Properties -Settings
Advanced (at the bottom right) -Adapter

Is the right adaptor/video card?

It might have reset itself to a generic adaptor.

If it is the right Video card try:
Change, and let it re-load the drivers.

If it is not the right video card:
Try Settings -Control Panel - Add new hardware
It should find the video adapter.


If that still does not work, then go:

Settings - Control Panel -System - Device Manager
Delete the Display Adapter - Reboot.
It should find the adapter by itself or by doing a Add New Hardware
