A notification has just overwritten the screen saying that the Live DVD of Mageia 4 has just finished. I'll let you know how I get on!
I ran the Live DVD and that works fine! It displays at full screen resolution with all the normal taskbar icons.
I ran one or two checks on the Live DVD. For example, I looked at what kernel stuff was installed and also graphics. It had lots of NVidia stuff in there so for me, it's not something I can easily transfer over. I also ran the same graphics test I do here and although it got further than this (faulty) one does, it didn't get to a full screen display (the bit where it says 'do you want to accept this'.
So what can I learn from that? How do I fix the mis-configuration on the machine using the Live DVD or do I bite the bullet and re-install Mageia 4 (I have to admit, that does sound the normal way to fix Windows problems!)?
