Display problems

My laptop has a screen resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels. A few days ago, however, it started displaying at 640 x 480. I've tried changing the screen area in the Display Properties dialog box to no avail. It keeps coming back to the 640 x 480 setting. Please help!

Re: Display problems

What video card are you using? Do you have the latest video card drivers? This just started after ... what happened? ;)
