I have a Dell Inspiron 3800 laptop running Win XP Home.  Instead of using the  
laptop display, I have a Princeton 19" LCD monitor.  So I am running a single  
screen set-up.  My problem is this . . .
 
When the computer boots up, it displays at 1024 X 768.  I change it to 1280  
x 1024, the maximum resolution of the monitor, which XP happily accepts.  No  
problems there.  But when I reboot, the display settings change right back to  
1024 X 768.  So I have to increase the resolution every time I boot the  
system up.  It's driving me nuts.
 
If anyone can help me out, I'll nominate you for sainthood.  (A nomination  
from me may not count for much in heaven, but it's the thought that counts,  
right?)

I forgot to add that I just switched over to WinXP, and that I didn't have  
this problem with Win98.  Nor did I have this problem with my old 17" CRT  
monitor on Win98.  So I think it has to be a WinXP issue . . .
 
I also forgot to add that the maximum resolution of my laptop LCD is 1024 X  
768.

The graphics driver included in WinXP may have a problem. Check the
Dell site for WinXP updates for your particular model.

I'll give that a shot and post if that works or not.  Thanks for the  
suggestion!
