Is there a graphics expert in the house? Or someone who knows how my graphics and monitors should be set up? I am supposed to have one monitor and Intel Graphics 2 for Mobile. I did a factory reset and then started updating everything as fast as I could. After downloading driver updates from Intel and Lenova, my whole graphics/display system went haywire. I would get little tiny screens sometimes on bootup, when I try to adjust display properties, I get error message saying current settings aren't possible, something about VGA being started in a different mode and it would give me the blue screen and shut down all of a sudden. I think it's something simple like the wrong driver attached to the monitor or something. I'm trying to learn how to do things on my own, but sometimes I just mess everything up. Please help me before I render my Thinkpad competely inoperable! Thank you.

It's been quite an experience, between viruses, factory resets, HDD failures and a little kitten that likes to chase the cursor and run across the keyboard at inopportune times.

Sometimes when I try to update or reinstall drivers when I'm trying to get the graphics system to function correctly. For a while, every time I booted, it would be a different desktop. Sometimes big, sometimes small. Now it seems more stable because it hasn't done that for a while, but when I go to desktop properties and try to change the settings, I get the error messages. An the default monitor says it doesn't need or have a driver. I guess because it's the IBM default VGA or something.

I tried to see which devices were listed as quetion marks in the device manager, but it started installing too fast. Now I have 3 default monitors and 2 IBM Thinkpad monitors in device manager. I have the Intel Extreme Graphics 2 for Mobile icon in the tray, but it's not in the control panel like it should be and when I right-click, it just shows the name, not any options. The desktop settings show 2 monitors: one thinkpad and one default (vgasave). The Graphics 2 for Mobile soesn't show up in the advanced settings like it used to. I think one time the unidentified device was the thinkpad pm driver.
