Dell Inspiron 1501 running XP
shut the computer down normally and the next morning the icons are blown up
three times their normal size and the screen is jumping up and down and the
pic is distorted...........any ideas or thoughts and what may have caused this
thanks for any and all helpDefinately not a virus imo, I have had to DEAL with this issue several times, and an update of the vga card driver fixed the issue.Hardist if you dont mind shoot me a private message
gotta a question or two thanks for your reply Hard,

let me review so that you can understand what I have going on

shut the computer (laptop) down one evening no problem
the next morning the screen is jumping around and the icons are like
three times there normal size.......it is terribly difficult to be able to
get it to stop in order to click anything

in safemode the screen does not JUMP and the picture is not distorted
just have the icons slightly enlarged

I have run Malware-anti malware scans three times and nothing has
been found......I TYPED msconfig in safe Mode and disable windows
as I was instructed to..........I also uninstalled AMD Driver and need to
reinstall at dell.com


another issue is that in safe mode the computer will only STAY on for
ten minutes or so.........this is not true in normal modeOk, I am all but certain it is a virus of somekind

I would like to reinstall XP going through F12 and Reboot
is it possible to do this and still ssave my pictures and
documents??? Currently I have XP but also have a VISTA
disk....should I use Vista or XP..........can anyone help me
through this process???Please go to this link and follow the directions and post the required logs.
