Changes to 640X480 every Boot

[Brian Rhoades Jr.]

Hi,
I have a new 9800, installed the ati drivers after using a driver cleaner to
rid myself of Nvidia drivers and at every boot my screen resolution changes
back to 640x480. Anyone know a solution?

Thanks

Have you got the right monitor driver installed?

 

[Brian Rhoades Jr.]

Yes, the correct monitor drivers are installed...tried every trick i know to
no avail...other driver sets...reinstalled mobo drivers, then ati
drivers...tried re-installed directx 9 and it still happens. Once i reset
resolution to 1024x768 it runs great, it just resizes everything at
boot...arrggghh!

Is your memory usage set to "programs" or "system cache"?

My Memory usage was set to system cache, I changed it and VOILA! Thanks,
saved me alot of rebooting and hassle. Why would that setting have an
impact...hmmm.

Thanks JTS

I wish I knew. I had the same problem with a Radeon 9600. Changing that
setting was the only way mine would work right. I since have a 9800 Pro and
it doesn't seem to matter where I set the memory usage. Anyway, I don't
think the system cache setting (as opposed to the program setting) is of
real benefit unless you are running a server.

Glad the problem is resolved. It drove me nuts when it happened to me!!
