I recently bought a used Lenovo ThinkPad L520 (Type 5017 - AA5).
I reinstalled Windows 7 64-bit and it was working just fine until 2 days ago.
Now, a couple of changes were made simulatenously (or back to back).
I increased the 4GB RAM to 8GB by installing a 4GB DIMM.
At the same time, the last shutdown before installing RAM was when I ran Windows Update and it did some Update.
After that, I lost my 1366x768 resolution.
I tried everything that I could find on different forums. I tried removing the DIMM I installed; tried uninstalling the last Windows Update; tried modifying the Registry enteries thru regedit; even tried re-installing my OS.
I am stuck with recommended display of 1280x800, that stretches my display vertically making me impossible to see taskbar.
Currently I am using 1280x720, that is leaving about 0.8" on top, 1.5" on right, and 0.3" on bottom..completely black.
If anyone can help me out in this please? I am desperate to get my 1366x768 resolution back.

Hi mbb,
I am sorry to hear you are having problems with the resolution in your computer but let me help you with this.
At this point I am not sure what driver version you currently have installed in your system but I recommend you the following:
- Uninstall the current driver from Device Manager
- Restart the computer.
- Download the latest driver for your graphics controller at the following link:
