I downloaded a pc game demo/trailer and it changed my graphics settings. The icons on the taskbar
on the bottom of the screen, i.e. the McAfee icon, are all big and out of focus. Also, when I play a DVD movie, the picture is darker and not as crisp as it once was. My system restore doesn't have any previous dates to go back to.
Question: how do I restore my default settings? Do I need to reload drivers? How do I do that?
You can restore the system to "as shipped" condition as described
here. You will have to back up your perishable data before doing so or you will lose it.
thanks for the quick response. is there anyway to avoid reinstallation? Also, I went thru my Dell stuff and I'm not sure which disk to use. Do I need to have a zip drive to backup information?
I remember doing this before, also with a game download, and I reinstalled one of the drivers and everything went back to normal. Any ideas?
