    Display resolution not sticking

    Whenever I reboot my computer the screen resolution changes back to a lower
    resolution of 1024x768. I set the display back to 1280 x 1024 and use the
    system.. when I reboot it sets back to that setting.. any ideas?

    Try updating your video card drivers.

    No i tried that.. I even went as far as buying a new video card (mostly so i
    could get glass) with a nVidia 5200 where it was an onboard S3 card and I am
    still getting the same problem.

    The strange thing is that I have notived that during boot up it has the
    correct resolution and half way through the boot up of the desktop it changes
    back to the lower resolution.
