    Display driver .....STILL..... reverts back to older one!!

    Ok well I posted this problem a few weeks ago, basically I install the latest drivers for my video card, set it up how I like it (refresh rate etc) and then like within a week I will notice my refresh rate has go back to like 60mhz and when I check, windows has regressed to a different driver!!! Man does this PI$$ me off. I am so mad because of this I almost smashd my keyboard last night

    Well someone suggested a utility called detonator destroyer that removes all previous detonator drivers from the system allowing you to install fresh but this apparently doesn't work.

    So what gives? This problem is REALLY starting to make me mad. Like three times this week I have had to re-install my video drivers.

    try this

    Boot to SAFT MODE
    go to DEVICE MANAGER
    enable the SHOW HIDDEN DEVICES option
    then Uninstall all the listed video cards, hidden ones too
    then Install the 40.x or 30.x drivers
    then reboot back to NOrmal mode

    now it should all work

    By the way do the same process for the ALL the Listed and hidden MONITORS

    well there were 2 monitors listed. Maybe that was the problem. I removed them both and restarted and installed PnP mon. Hope this works.
