My laptop doesn't seem to be recognising my DVD drive. The device status says:
Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware because a previous instance of the device driver is still in memory. (Code 38)
Help!!!!

it's sorted now - I just turned it off and on again (don't know why I didn't think of that myself!)

Hit monitor hard with a 12lb sledgehammer ... then go out and buy a new one that was made this century.

That definitely looks like changing the settings on the monitor menu would fix it (by that I mean the buttons on the actual monitor rather than anything through the computer).
But if you've tried that then I guess the next solution would involve a hammer.

I take it you've saved the settings on the monitor once you've changed them and not just exited? (if there is an option to save) A quick tidy up wouldn't go a miss either  |
