Nvidia 6600 keeps forgetting resolution

I set the resolution to match my screen 1280 x 1024 and it works fine. Each
time I reboot the resolution drops to 1280 x 768. I have gone to the nVidea
website and downloaded the latest drivers with no luck.

Had the same problem, same card when first installing.

If you use any drivers other than the WDDM driver boxed with Vista, you will
have this problem ad infinitum. The 88.61 on the website will work, but the
resolution problem will persist. reinstall only the decorated drivers in
Vista, and you will have no more problems.

Using a 6600GT with the 8861 drivers with Vista 5384 on a LCD monitor
identified by Vista a "plug&play"
The resolution of the monitor is set at 1280x1024 and it never changes.
Maybe the diffeernce is that I am using an LCD???

I did a roll back on the driver and still the same problem. I fiddled for a
long time and somehow ended up with the primary monitor being identified as
monitor 2 on my 19" Sony LCD. After that I could not get it to be monitor one
but it works fine even after reboot. Now I just have to work out how to get
video playback full screen on the 37" TV which now thinks it is monitor 1.

Hey I found the solution, I rebooted into Windows XP ;-)

I have an LCD monitor aswell but I cannot get the resolution above 1024X768,
lower than the native resolution of the monitor, I have downloaded the Vista
drivers from nVidia and the software keeps reporting that the O/S is not
Windows Vista. I have Windows Vista CPP installed. and I am using a Nvidea
6600 with 256meg.

It's NOT ONLY NVidia forgetting resolution in Vista Beta, but
the Tool Bars also...keep forgetting the setup. This is Beta version we're
dealing with...-;)

Isn't all software Beta these days :)

The latest Beta fixes the resolution memory problem and is a lot faster. It
is getting there and looks a lot more promising than the Preview.
