Greeting,
*succinctly* Recently, when I reboot, I lose my current display
settings. I don't know exactly what the settings are that I like, but,
I end up having to changing the change the resolution from 800x600 to
1024x768 accepting the
changes, then changing them back to 800x600. I have to do this every
time I
reboot. I'm sure it's from some of the software I recently
unintalled.

Help would gratefullly apreciated,

Try uninstalling/reinstalling your video card drivers. Get them from:

1. The device mftr.'s website; OR
2. The motherboard mftr.'s website if hardware is onboard; OR
3. The OEM's website for your specific machine if you have an OEM
computer (HP, Dell, Sony, etc.).

Read the installation instructions on the website where you get the
drivers.

To find out what hardware is in your computer:

1. Read any documentation you got when you bought the computer.
2. If the computer is OEM, go to the OEM's website for your specific
model machine and look at the specs (you'll be there to get the drivers
anyway)
3. Download, install and run a free system inventory program like Belarc
Advisor. The older Aida32 is good for this, too.
