    read and follow all that the directions tell you to do in the Malware section of this forum. One of the experts will look at all your logs and see if your computer is free of malware. Once you are given the all clear, if you still have problems, come back to software and post your problems in a new thread.

    You have no thread in malware with your log files so you haven't done "all of the above".

    Thank you for your reply. Maybe I am in over my head, I don't understand every thing that is said here, but I am trying to learn how to fix my computer.

    Hi meaginn,

    Try going to the link posted below and scrll down to #285, look on the right-hand side and you will see Restore All Display Tabs. Click on that and Save the REG File to somewhere you can locate it. Find it, Double click it and answer yes to the import prompt. It will add some things to the registry that should restore your display properties. You may have to restart the computer for the changes to take effect.

    Note: plodr is correct, just trying to make certain that you have no more malware on your system. You do need to post your malware logs/info in the Malware section to make sure you got everything.
