Answer 1

Hi there

Try uninstalling your video card and then reboot your system and let windows reinstall it, if the problem still coming up, try installing an older version of the drivers (like the one that come on the CD with your video card

Cheers

Answer 2

Try using older drivers. These can be found by just using the CD that came with your graphics card, or by searching for them on Google. I used the disc for my 8800GTS 512MB and it worked fine after. When I was installing the most recent drivers, it would get stuck on 800x600 and wouldn't allow me to change the colour depth from 4-bit.

So uninstalling your drivers by going through Add/Remove Programs and then installing older ones for the 8800GTS would be my recommendation.
