    I hate screen scaling, so I always configure the graphics driver to "Do not scale".

    However, on my Z21 this setting does not seem to be permanent. Whenever I change it, apply it and then use it, it works fine. However after a reboot, it is back to the original "Use NVIDIA scaling".

    What am I doing wrong? How can I fix this? :confused:

    BTW, I am using the original Forceware 174.49 that shipped with the Vaio Z21. The graphics card used is the Nvidia GeForce 9300M GS.

    The update did not work, looks like the Drivers for the Sony 9300M GS are evyr specific. I rolled back to the original driver.
