Vista Update Causing Split-Screen Problem

I have recently bought a PC that came with Vista Ultimate.

I am using a Siemens-Fujitsu LCD monitor (Scenic P19-2) and every time I
receive a Windows update it causes the monitor to malfunction. After the
update I get a split-screen effect, where the display information is squeezed
into the top 70% of the screen. Below that I get a horizontal black bar and
the content begins to repeat itself.

The only way to get the monitor to function normally is to reset Vista to
its last known good configuration.

I have checked with Siemens-Fujitsu and they have informed me that I have
the correct driver and that the problem is with either Vista or the Graphics
card.

If Vista is causing this problem, does anyone have any suggestions as to how
I can remedy the situation?

Is the driver you are trying to install the latest from the Graphics card
manufacturers Website or one from WinUpdate? WinUpdate often has out of
date graphics or tuner card drivers.
