QuickRes and Display driver "ilyaz" <ilyaz33[ at ]hotmail.com> 12/27/2008 5:27:47 PM For a few last days, when I boot up my Windows XP Home SP3 machine, I'm getting a mysterious message "Display driver does not support QuickRes. You must be running a Windows 95 driver in 256 color mode or higher". After I click on OK, everything seems normal... I tried to make some adjustments in the Display in Control panel without any visible results... What this QuickRes is all about? How to make it compatible with my display driver? -- Ilya Zeldes Fort Myers, Florida

Re: QuickRes and Display driver "ilyaz" <ilyaz33[ at ]hotmail.com> 12/28/2008 4:09:50 PM Well, the story is not over, yet... Yesterday, I downloaded and installed the xp_quickres and its icon appeared in the notification area. I was able to adjust resolution etc. However, this morning, after rebooting my computer, I got the same message about display driver and the quickres icon was missing from the notification area... Am I back to square one? What's going on? Ilya "JS" <[ at ]> wrote in message news:u7wQ2uGaJHA.3496[ at ]TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl...

Re: QuickRes and Display driver "JS" <[ at ]> 12/28/2008 4:18:31 PM Download and install the latest Video drivers for your motherboard's video chip or for your AGP/PCI card. If it's a built in video chip then get the drivers from the motherboard manufacture's web site. Video card, the go to the card manufacture's web site. DO NOT use Microsoft's drivers that are available on the Windows Update site. -- JS http://www.pagestart.com "ilyaz" <ilyaz33[ at ]hotmail.com> wrote in message news:uDTE3aQaJHA.4480[ at ]TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl...

Re: QuickRes and Display driver "ilyaz" <ilyaz33[ at ]hotmail.com> 12/30/2008 5:33:23 PM JS, if you're still watching this treat... I have an Intel 82845G/GL/GE/PE/GV Graphics Controller. Updated driver from Intel site. Changed a few parameters (resolutions, frequencies) - nothing helps. Still getting the same message... Now, I'm considering removal of QuickRes, but see no way to do it. QuickRes is not listed in the control panel and I'm unable to find it anywhere... Any suggestion on what do I do now?

Re: QuickRes and Display driver "JS" <[ at ]> 12/30/2008 10:10:49 PM Yep, I'm still here, just stepped out for a while. Try Autoruns from the MS Windows SysInternals site: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx AutoRuns will show/list all apps/etc. that load/run when you first boot ... (the 'Boot Execute' tab), when you logon (the 'Logon' tab) and other programs that load (grouped by labeled tabs) for easy viewing. If you don't find QuickRes listed under the above two categories you can click on the 'Everything' tab and see if you can find it listed. Assuming AutoRuns does show QuickRes, you then have the ability to see the directory path where QuiceRes in installed. Check the QuickRes folder to see if there is a file named: uninstall.exe or unwise.exe, this file is the uninstaller. If you do not find the above two files then you still have two more options. 1) While still in AutoRuns simply remove (uncheck) the box in the column labeled: 'Autorun Entry', the will stop QuickRes from loading. You can undo any changes you have made by placing the check mark back. 2) Also if your comfortable with editing the registry (first - create a Restore Point) then you can double click on the QuickRes line in AutoRuns and it will open the registry to where the QuickRes entry is. For example a program the loads when you logon would be located here: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINEM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurentVersion\Run You should see the QuickRes entry list on the right side of the Registry Editor. Double click on the QuickRes listing an the location (Path) to the drive location should be displayed. Deleting this registry entry named QuickRes (right hand side of registry editor) will remove the entry and stop QuickRes. -- JS http://www.pagestart.com "ilyaz" <ilyaz33[ at ]hotmail.com> wrote in message news:uuot2SqaJHA.556[ at ]TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl...
