Screen turns blue on resolution change....

This is a discussion about Screen turns blue on resolution change.... in the Windows Hardware category; I have a Leadtek GeForce2 MX on Win2k, and just recently, whenever I change the screen resolution, the screen is blue when it finishes (not a BSOD, but the screen is dark blue). I can still see the mouse pointer, but nothing else.

I have a Leadtek GeForce2 MX on Win2k, and just recently, whenever I change the screen resolution, the screen is blue when it finishes (not a BSOD, but the screen is dark blue). I can still see the mouse pointer, but nothing else.

The only way for me to fix it is to press Ctrl-Esc, up twice, enter, "cmd", enter, then alt-enter to make the command prompt fullscreen, then again to make it normal again. Sometimes that fixes it. I'm not overclocked in any way. I've tried all the available Detonator drivers, and the ones from Leadtek. All with the same results.

The screen never turns blue when I go to a fullscreen win2k command prompt, and it sometimes is blue even when I switch back. I looked over my BIOS settings, but nothing seems unusual.
