It is quite stable most of the time and then occasionally, when I restart my machine it has decided to run at 640x480. It only takes a few seconds to put it right, but it is annoying to have to do so.	Guest (0)

I'm guessing as Windows can't detect a monitor if its turned off then it starts in the default VGA mode - dunno, I'm only guessing here. It always start in the hi-res mode if I remember to turn the monitor on first.	Guest (0)

I have never seen it like that and it took a play around in safe mode to get it right. Have you tried a new video driver.	Guest (0)
