An updtae was installed today on my computer - Intel Corporation -
Video-Intel (R) G33/G31 Express Chipset Family. After this occurred the size
of everything on my monitor was changed. I would like to restore my monitor
default settings but can't find a default location to do this. Can anyone
guide me where to go to find my default settings?

Thanks
 
HI!
To go to find your default setting:
1- open control panel
2- click personalization icon - open it. Last line, you see setting up
video. Click and open. Make your setting up video

You made the mistake of installing a driver from Windows Update. You don't
want to do this. Roll back the driver to the one that worked.

The First Law of Driver Updates is "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".
Normally if everything is working you want to leave things as they are. The
exception is that heavy-duty gamers will usually want to update their video
and sound drivers to squeeze every last bit of performance out of the
hardware to get the fastest frame rates. If you're not one of those people,
you don't need to update your drivers if there are no problems you are
trying to solve.

Never get drivers from Windows Update. Get them from:

1. The device mftr.'s website; OR
2. The motherboard mftr.'s website if hardware is onboard; OR
3. The OEM's website for your specific machine if you have an OEM computer
(HP, Dell, Sony, etc.).

Read the installation instructions on the website where you get the drivers.

To find out what hardware is in your computer:

1. Read any documentation you got when you bought the computer.
2. If the computer is OEM, go to the OEM's website for your specific model
machine and look at the specs (you'll be there to get the drivers anyway)
3. Download, install and run a free system inventory program like Belarc
Advisor or System Information for Windows.

If you have installed drivers from Windows Update, you can roll them back:
