Windows Vista Screen Resolution reverts to lower settings

Hi,

This is a problem which I have seen discussed in the past, but never resolved. Maybe by now someone has a solution.

I am running a Toshiba laptop, Vista Business, updated, drivers updated, stable (well relatively).

After a game crashed, the system runs up on the native 1680x1050 and during loading the final desktop icons reverts to the game resolution of 1440x900.

I manually set everything back to normal and restart or power down or log off and every time this machine comes back with the same thing: starts on 1680 and after 20 seconds blinks and goes to 1440.

I searched all things on my system I know of and also all forums I know of without any solution.

Any ideas?????

Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for your help.

I can see that we both are logic thinkers as what you described was my 2nd or 3rd step. I actually own a jv16 license and scanned everything to no avail. I went and manually went through the registry and found zillions of 1440's - but not the one I wanted.

What is left is the scan for remnants of the game in registry, which I haven't done.... Tiresome.....

I have no idea where else to look. Any other creative ideas?

Your help is really appreciated.

This will be another of these unresolved mystery threads.

The problem went away. Something I touched somewhere cleansed out some info in some place and the laptop came up in native resolution.

Go figure.
