Corrupted Seagate Dashboard (Memeo) may cause VGA Problems
by atomike on Dec.09, 2011, under Computer Software, Solutions
If you the resolution of your monitor changes to VGA(640×480) during Windows startup, it may be a problem with Seagate Dashboard.
I found this after going through the painful process of disabling startup programs to find which was the cause, as by disabling all made the symptom disappear.
Re-installing the application fixed the problem. Seagate Dashboard works, and no more VGA resolution during startup.
If anyone else has experienced this, try this fix and report if it worked for you.
Restore File Associations After Virus Removal

After removing a virus, you may find that double clicking any program will result in an open-with dialog box.
This can be easy fixed by running the following registry files.

These are particularly useful in this scenario since trying to open Regedit will result in the same dialog box.
