Just turned on the computer and this is all I can see:

I have a ASUS 7600GT GFX card and running XP Home. So is this a driver issue or something else?

759778 2009-03-26 05:16:00 I can't set it to the right resolution and its stuck on 4-bit color (cant change it to 32 bit)

I can't open the NVIDIA control panel either, it just crashes when I double click on it.

759779 2009-03-26 05:30:00 looks like the drivers have gone belly up.

Try safe mode, or normal mode and see if you can open system restore - run it back to yesterday.

If still no joy, you can try downloading Driver Sweeper (www.guru3d.com) - see if it runs, select the drivers (display ONLY) - wipe them out and reinstall fresh drivers.

I think it was Windows Live Mesh that I installed yesterday and it installed a number of drivers alongside the NVIDIA one and it really must have screwed it all up. Damn MS!!!
