Video settings help

**CivilWars** · 02-18-08, 02:30 PM

On my new system when I restart it reverts to crappy settings. I change them in the Nvidia control panel, but the next time I start it goes back to 640X480 or something retarded. What am I doing wrong?

640x480 is the default resolution for Windows when either Windows is unable to detect a proper driver for the component or is unable to determine what that component can display properly on your monitor.

Since you mention nVidia's control panel, what version driver are you using? The 163's are pretty damn stable but the 169's have been having issues in SLI mode and staying there.

Does Windows Device Manager recognize your hardware correctly? (Monitor and Video Card)

Latest Drivers?

Recently installed software that may have lead to this problem occurring?

There should be something inside the Nvidia control panel that allows you to keep your settings when you restart your comp... I think at least.
