Log in to the Administrator account, change Resolution &
Refresh there. Log off and then into your normal account
and see if the display settings remain "Sticky".

Hi Kelly -

I've Uninstalled and reinstalled graphic card fron
Nvidia. All Windows Updates and Patches are installed.
I've even tried changing the refresh rate to 85 Hertz.
All is well for that session, but everything resizes on
reboot and restart.

Problem started within a week of installing Roxio 6.
