Have a question for everyone, at work we are using Windows
XP Pro. on Dell Latitudes. We have created a Image using
Ghost and everything seems to be working fine.

Only issue I am having is when one of our users changes
the resolution ,from the default resoution that was set by
windows, and reboots the PC it changes back to a the
standard resolution again, it didn't keep the resolution
the users had originaly set. Any suggestions? Dell suggest
that we update our Video drivers, which we are using
anyway, that didn't work we tried all kinds of different
drivers and nothing.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
 
It could be your new resolution is too high and your
monitor couldn't handle it. Set the resolution lower than
Ghosted setting, and Log Out and relogin. If it holds,
it's not software problem.
 
Thank you for your response, maybe I should explain a
situation.

The Default Resolution is 1600x1200 , works fine at this
resolution, but my user has a hard time reading words, so
they lower it to 1024x768. It stays there, they reboot and
the resolution goes back up to 1600x1200. Im thinking it
might be a group policy? In some testing, keep in mind its
just some testing, if they are not on the network at all
and change the resolution it sticks after reboot. Also if
you log on as Local Admin and change it, it changes it for
the users resolution. Maybe that will explain more. Thanks
 
I was having the same issues where my resolution was set
to 1024x768 but kept jumping to 640x480 every time I
rebooted.

Here's what I tried:
1. resetting the resolution in safe mode
2. updating video drivers

What worked:
Used an older version of the video driver

I still hold my breath every time I reboot but it seems
to have worked.
