SYMPTOMS

When you run Control Panel, choose Display, choose Change Display Type, choose change, select Show Compatible Devices, select a video driver different than the one currently installed, choose OK, and then shutdown and restart Windows NT, the change is lost.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, do not select Show Compatible Devices. If you leave Show All Devices selected, selecting a new video driver will work correctly.
