Is the solution to go Offline. Disable the security software. Make the

security software.

I am running XP on a Dell Inspiron 8600 laptop. When I log back on
after logging off and closing the computer the resolution changes
from 1280 by 768
to 1680 by 1050 which makes the icons way to small for me. Is there
any way
to stop this re-setting?
