    I did the F17 update (from F14) via SP41747.exe and noticed my screen would flicker when I was using one of my programs VSOConvertX. I checked my settings and instead of having hte normal 1280x800 resolution as the max setting the bar would let me drag it to some crazy resoltion. There are 4 monitors loaded under device manager, default monitor, default monitor, plug and play monitor, and the TV out one. Do I possibly need to reload the video driver? or the whole OS? Only reason I even updated the bios was the plan to move over to SSD and I wanted the latest support. Thanks for any help!

    Just loaded Windows 7 and the issue is gone. I probably just needed to reload the video driver.
