    This is caused by nVidia's drivers. Make sure you have either the latest
    ones, or the latest ones released by your computer manufacturer.

    If that fails, it may be possible to modify the driver to resume in the
    proper resolution but I'll have to look into it again.

    If that's no good there may be a way to do it via the registry.

    My way of doing it on my laptop with a 1440x1050 screen was to add in the
    extra lines into the ini file, and then reinstall the driver.
