A Terroristic Divorce

Vista reports an incorrect resolution error. The error indicates that Works won’t display everything corrrectly when the settings are below 1024 x 768.

The screen settings are 1280 x 720.

The error message is using invalid information.

This can happen when you computer is under surveillance.

It may seem to be working like before… BUT, when inside the virtual machine it is very hard to tell you are working on a window within a window. The thing that doesn’t get passed realtime or on the fly when in a virtual machine is a hardware setting or change.

I’d speculate that they can’t pass the data easily or recognize the change occurred to pass the info.
OR
They need to strictly control your access to hardware changes to prevent you making a hardware change which circumvents or exposes the surveillance software.

Just one of many hardware related clues you may encounter when your computer has been hacked.
