In case the issue still persists, update the BIOS:

Hi Vikram

Thanks for the help but none of it works, for the first one i tried uninstalling and it said to restart for completion and when it restarted, the driver was automatically installed again and there is no obvious application for the video driver and when i went at that link, it only shows BIOS download, none for video or any else. For the second one i downloaded and tried installing BIOS, i got the message that can't flash to the same one.

The screen resolution is same and the Aero is still not working, i appreciate your help but can you guide me further to resolve this issue?
