I know what you're thinking...get you head out of the gutter. XD

On a way more serious note, I need some help. Computer troubles, and I have looked everywhere, but then I thought it couldn't hurt to try BS (since it's WAY more active than service forums).

So, here's a summary:
My laptop is a Lenovo G530 4446 running XP. It's designed as a Vista computer that was downgraded to XP by Lenovo.
There is this problem with a display or monitor driver with these computers. When it runs correctly, the resolution sits at 1280x800. When it doesn't, the resolution is at a completely different setting and seems to be running on a different driver, sitting at 1024x768. There's a chance upon boot-up that the driver will run correctly or incorrectly.

I recently decided to try and remedy the bug. Doing research on the Lenovo Forums, I found a large number of possible remedies. All of them where from customers. I did note that a Lenovo staff posted a solution. Figuring he knew what he was going, I tried the said solution...and that caused a FAR bigger problem that actually renders my computer crippled in some areas.

Here are some links to the topic I've been following:
+ Page 2- This is where the Lenovo staff, Cleo_Lenovo, posted his suggestion
+ Page 4- Under a familiar name, this is where I started to post. As of now, there are two of mine in here

With the amount of people that are here, there is diversity and a wide range of collected knowledge.
May I ask that you review what's going on and pool some ideas?
I don't much care for the resolution bug anymore, I just want to uncripple my PC.

Playing off of my latest post in the Lenovo Forums, is a System Restore a way out of this problem?

I'll probably thank you later, but thanks in advance to all.

For one, its not recommended that you downgrade from a previous version of windows. It messes it up. All I can suggest is take it into bestbuy, or run recovery disks.

Well, first of all, I got it with XP.
The down-grade was done by Lenovo professionally before it left the factory. (it's how they do these computers).

And with that, there have not been a single problem other than the resolution driver.

I also think, even at this level of cripple, it is simple enough to fix the computer. I just need suggestions how.

Things are fixed. Just needed to run the setup.exe for the new driver after installing it.
Considering the folder wasn't in the most obvious spot, this took far too long to realize it was what I needed to do.

Topic Solved and Locked.
