Video resolution settings problem

[- Bobb -]

While using Vista I checked my video settings - it knew my monitor and
nvidia card and was surprised to see that 1024x768 was so far to the
left on my scale - so I tried a higher resolution. My Viewsonic then
displayed OUT OF RANGE in red letters on a black screen and that's it -
yellow power LED. I thought after ~10 seconds of my not "accepting it"
, it would go back as XP used to: apparently not. I waited but no
change-.that's something that needs to be fixed. I did a "windows key"
and 2 right arrows and a CR (to have it shutdown)and it restarted .

This ABSOLUTELY should be fixed. It's not just been this way since XP, it's
been this way since Windows95 AT LEAST. Maybe earlier? I dunno.

It makes choosing the highest display resolution possible a huge pain in the
rump. I'm forced to RESTART into SAFE MODE, then roll back settings, then try
again. This can't be the best solution.

Any plans to correct this?
