Problems with screen resolution after login

Hi,

I installed Vista Beta 2 yesterday but keep having problems with the screen
resolution on startup. The settings i have when i shut down Vista doesn't
seem to stick.

When im at the loginprompt I have a screen resolution of 1280*720 (which is
what i want) but after a sucessfull login the resolution changes to 1280*1024
with a refresh rate of 85 hz. That would have been nice, as long as both my
displays could handle that resolution.

My computer is an HTPC connected to a 26" LCD-TV (native resolution of
1280*768) and a front projector (native resolution of 1280*720) and the
problem is that my LCD-TV cand handle the increased resolution after login.

Ive tried to install the ATI-drivers with the Catalyst control center but
that hasn't solved the login/startup problem.

Has anyone seen these problems previosly? Is there a magic setting to find
somewhere deep down in Vista that could solve this problem?

Best regards

Hi,

Thanks for your reply but its still not clear to me. After login I'm getting
a resolution of 1280*1024 at 85hz which isn't native resolution for any of
the two displays. My projector can handle the resolution though but not my
LCD-TV.

What i want is for the HTPC to output 1280*720 at 60hz after login.
Shouldn't be to much to ask for i think

Bus as i said, im still not clear to how i answered my question. Please
clearify this

Regardning the multiple posts the explanation is simple: I got an error when
posting and therefor i tried again. Thought I had experienced some kind of
timeout and that the posting was unsuccessful.

Best regards

I was having a similar problem with my GeForce4. I disabled all the nVidia
utilities from starting up using Windows Defender, which sorted it.
