Screen resolution and color quality
due to other problems I reinstalled Microsoft Office Professional 2007.(I am using Windows XP) Now when I open my computer it opens with a screen resolution of 640x480. I can change it to 1024x768, it then tells me it needs to restart the computer. My computer restarts, but goes back to the same screen resolution of 640x480, how do I get it to stay at 1024x768?
Thanks
