Having a problem with my laptop! I set the screen resolution to 1023 x 768 (Which is recommended by the manufacturer as well)

Problem is 99% of the time the computer will almost be finished booting (correct screen resolution will be showing) when it will reset itself to to the lowest resolution! I have tried everything! Once or twice it'll load fine but the majority of the time it resets! Of course all my desktop icons go all over the place.

 I hope someone has an idea for me

Thanks

 P.s. I've checked that the driver is properly loaded.

Hi B !

Do you have another display connected as well ?
Or is the graphics-card perhaps set to multiple displays ?
(reason i ask is that on my previous laptop the same thing happened)

Hi Ignace

 Yes it is set to multiple displays! There are 3 actually. I don't need the multiple displays, I only use the laptop screen. Is it possible to change that setting to one display only. I'm using windows XP Pro

 Thanks for your reply, it makes perfect sense.

 Regards

Hi B,

Yes, it should be possible to change the setting to 1 display only. 

Do you know what brand / type of graphics-card you have ? 
See if you can locate the configuration-software in the Control Panel,
there is the standard Windows "Display"-pane where you can select the display-settings,
but frequently there also is a settings-pane from the graphics-card itself,
like f.e. "NVIDEA Control Panel" or similar.
Usually, you can select/deselect multiple displays there. 

Regards,
Ignace

P.S.
How is the new job ?

Hi Ignace

 I will give that a try. Its an Intel(R) extreme graphics driver. Sure I'll be able to sort it out

 Thanks so much

P.s. The new job is going really well. Enjoying it a lot
