how do i do a system restore to yesterday?
I answered the question, The OP obviously is not a computer 'expert' like you.

a system restore is the easiest way to try and sort a corrupt driver for a 'noob'
Per se, it doesn't fix it though. This will:

- Downloading the latest ATI or NVIDIA drivers from the ATI or NVIDIA site
- Removing the currently installed ATI or NVIDIA drivers in Add/Remove Programs
- DON'T REBOOT
- Right Click My Computer, click Manage, select Device Manager from the list on the left, expanding Display Adapters, right clicking, selecting uninstall
- DON'T REBOOT
- install the driver you just downloaded
- then reboot
- then reset the resolution to the one you want in Display Properties

Bonus of that is instead of a config that's failed once, you have a nigh-on guaranteed correct one, and the latest drivers to boot.

It's always a good idea if the knowledge is available, and the person you're helping can follow instructions, to try and fix the problem rather than use SysRes to gloss over the cracks IMO
