The resolution is still at the same setting.
I have tried adjusting the monitor controls, I have downloaded the latest drivers, fiddled around - but can't get it back, except occasionally for a few minutes then it jumps again. It's bizarre.
17" CRT monitor, Nvidia Riva TNT 64 card. 2 yrs old.
Any ideas anyone?

Try gentle tapping on the monitor case - if that causes/fixes it, then its time for a call to a service shop.
