    My main screen resolution changes upon entering windows. The resolution is the smallest possible, yes i have the latest Nvidia drivers. Also the resolution will change as it pleases, this was all started upon installing Idisplay. Now ive gone as far as editing the registry. ive doen a registry cleaner and still have these problems.

    Google has been of no help so far. Could anyone help me with this issue.

    I would recommend you to do a system restore back to a point where it was working fine.

    I would love to do a restore , however i have since downloaded some files which i don't mind downloading again just takes a few hours to do so.

    Idisplay turns an ipad or android tablet into a secondary monitor for one's computer.
