    Howdy, I am having a hard time getting Windows Vista x64 to detect anything but a "Generic PnP" driver for my monitor. I think it may be related to my video drivers, however I am using the October 07 drivers from Sager's site.

    The real problem I am having is all of my videos seem to be rendered in a 'software mode', and any video player but VLC makes them look very pixelated. In VLC, videos look their normal quality but the video is extremely choppy.

    I tried going into VGA mode, uninstalling the drivers, restarting, installing the standard drivers and restarting, and I am still having this problem.

    Also, under Troubleshooting I can not set my Hardware Acceleration settings. It says "your current driver does not allow changes to be made to acceleration settings"

    :(

    I updated my drivers, which didn't quite fix it, reinstalled codecs, played with graphics driver settings and various other things and it started working properly again. I checked after each setting change it none of them fixed it, but after playing with closing and reopening media player classic it revived itself.


    For the record, my any video I would try to play (even HD videos) were pixelated, including subtitles, when fullscreened. It was wild.
