I have Vista Home Basic and until recently have used the VGA monitor driver which comes with Vista, instead of using the Intel 945 driver which is the default monitor driver on my Toshiba Satellite A100 laptop. This is because I have some software which needs to use “full screen” mode, and which won’t work if you attempt to open the software in a window. I accessed the VGA adapter via control panel / personalisations / display settings / advanced settings / properties / driver / update driver / browse my computer for driver software / let me pick from a list. Following this path gave me a list of available monitor drivers, including a standard VGA driver. I installed this and it worked well, though I had to reinstall it every few days as each time I had a Windows update I found that the Intel 945 driver was reinstalled. However, I now find that the standard VGA driver has disappeared from the list of available drivers. Where has it gone and how can I get it back again? I imagine that the driver itself hasn’t disappeared, but that some link is no longer accessed. Can anyone help me?

your doing it partly correct. The easy way to get Default Windows WDDM drivers is:
open control panel, --> open system --> Device manager --> open Display adapter --> DELETE --> what ever is there...
REBOOT and let Vista install the Default WDDM Video Driver.
on the average this fixes 99.8% of all Video problems.. YOU NEED (wddm) DRIVERS
