Display adaptor problem

    Hi all,
    My brother s Philips laptop received a Windows update during the week and after a restart the display was enlarged.

    So I have a look in the device manager and the display adaptor has an error
    Code 12 This device cannot find enoungh free resource's

    So far I ve uninstalled the device and re installed, tried system restore, un installed the Windows Updates and everything else i can think off.

    One strange thing I have noticed is that if I select "Show hidden device" I see another display adaptor of the same type working fine.

    In safe mode all seems fine.

    Laptop is running on Vista Premium, 2 gig of RAM.

    well, seeing as you're running out of options, have you tried performing a repair on windows? i've had different nagging problems before, but i'll always try a repair before i think about reinstalling. It usually does the trick too!

    [edit] i should say that was on XP though!!

    first take a system restore snapshot *important*

    then uninstall the hidden device , with luck it will be found on next boot
    at worst you do a system restore - and hope you don't end up in vgasafe land if you have ATI drivers
