Computer video is hosed again! Howard, IT pros know 10 is better than 7...boot time is faster, etc..but the issue he is having isn't a 10 issue..it would have happened in 7 had it stayed the OS MS was currently supporting..it's a driver issue, not the OS.. I like 10 as well as 7 and even 8.1...Vista, Me and 8 were total screwups by MS..I've upgraded almost all of my PCs to 10 if they could be..my Tough books probably won't but I haven't tried yet What's next since 10 is the last Windows is anyone's guess..I'm looking at Linux myself but office software doesn't work with it...yet Chris WB5ITT On Dec 10, 2017 6:56 AM, "D.

Last spring I UPGRADED Windows 7, by replacing the HD, doubling the memory, BUT NOT GOING TO WINDOWS 10. NO WAY JOSE' am I going to Windows 10...!!! Whenever this DELL VOSTRO 270 emits smoke, it's going in the trash can & GOOD BY MICROSOFT, there are other OS Systems much better than WINDOWS 10 ! 73 D.

I let Windows do an update BEFORE the contest (I knew it was a bad idea) and now it once again does not recognize my video card and has reduced the resolution and will not span across two monitors. Last time this happened, K5LJ suggested I roll back the video driver and that worked, but this time the option to do that is grayed out. Surely, someone know how to fix this for me. The computer is an older HP running WIN 10 (upgraded for WIN 7) with an AMD chipset and an ATI Radeon HD 4200 video card. I have a new computer purchased, but it’s still in the box…. There must be a way! If you have the answer, call, email or text me! BTW, the ARRL 10 Meter contest conditions suck, but there are occasional contacts to be made. Allen R.
