Windows starting with different resolution

Guest

I have a PNY 7300GT 256mg video card. I'm using the latest Nvida
drivers(93.71). Everything has been working fine till last tuesday (04/24).
When I booted my computer the resolution had changed. I have mine set at
1440x900. I have a Proview 19" wide screen. The only thing I had done was on
Monday was update my directx 9c. Oh and btw Tuesday morning it was fine, but
when I turned it on Tuesday afternoon is when the resolution was the
resolution right below the 1440. I'm not at home so I don't know exactly what
it was something like 1368x900. So I did a restore back to Sunday before the
directx update. But it still happens from time to time. I'm running win xp
home sp2. I don't know what's causing this. Is it the card, the ecs
Nforce4A-m amd motherboard, nvida drivers? I did reinstall the drivers.
Anyone have any ideas? Also, the changing resolution rearranges my desktop
icons and I have to put them back the way I want them (and this is getting
annoing). I'm running windows xp home sp2. I did uninstall the video
drivers. Booted in safe mode did a driver cleaner. Reinstalled the drivers.
It worked for about a week then started in again. Only this time when I
rebooted or started up my computer it was 800x600 16bit 60mhz. Then I would
have to change to the correct resolution 1440x900 32bit 75mhz. But it
doesn't happen all the time. Any ideas?

If you've already tried rolling back the drivers to an older version,
then maybe the newest
drivers are not compatible. I would try to contact the video card
manufacturer and see
if they've had the same problems. You can probably find out on their
website.
