775457 2009-05-20 09:51:00 After trying to change some settings on the "Settings" tab in Display, I am unable to change anything. As soon as I click OK or Apply it automatically reverts to the previous settings:confused::confused::confused:

For example, if I try to change the resolution, it just changes back to 1024x768

Anyone got ideas why this is happening?

Thanks:thanks:thanks

Also, I think you if your login account has no admin rights then changing some of the system settings is not possible...I am not sure if it applies to the desktop resolution.
