Hi,
Using Nvidia 304.116 drivers on Geforce 6150 LE integrated graphics.
So I started and my screen resolution was set as 1024x768, where it should be 1440x900. I tried to manually change the resolution, but it did not show my screen resolution anymore as an option. Even if I changed to another option, the changes didn't stick and it reverted back to 1024x768.
Then I tried both detecting the screen and manually setting the resolution in the advanced options, but no joy, it reverted back to 1024x768.
Then I tried uninstalling Nvidia drivers by going into recovery mode by holding the shift key while restarting, but it says loading Grub menu and then the screen goes blank...forever. I can't figure out how to get into recovery mode to uninstall.
Then I tried changing to version 173 drivers and my screen resolution went to 640x480, I think, and I could no longer even get into the Nvidia configuration, nothing happened when I click the Icon.
So then I tried changing to version 96 drivers and now I can't even get into LL, screen goes blank after the BIOS screen closes.
I am only using this computer for the internet, so the only changes I have made for many months are running the updates. I have not installed any software or made any other changes.
Not sure to what to do at this point, I'd rather not have to reinstall. I have an old backup I could restore, but I assume I will run into the same problem when I run the updates?
Thanks for any help.
