Windows 7 NVIDA changing resolution on me
Last response: in Graphics & Displays
Hello,
I'm somewhat near sighted and have elected to run my 24" Dell in 1152 x 864. This used to work just fine on my NVIDIA 8800 until the latest update from NVIDA (iva Windows Update).
Now when set to my preferred resolution, I can be typing along and suddenly the screen goes blank and then is reset to 1920 x 1200 (the so called "preferred" (but not by me) setting).
Anyone have an idea if this is simply a bug or s there some setting I should be applying?
Please help!

Yes. It works all the time, it just changes in an ad- hoc fashion hours or days after I've set it. Almost seems like the nvidia driver is "enforcing" what it thinks to be the optimum (default) resolution.
Btw I develop software for Windows, Linux, and Mac, so I am aware of how to perform settings. This is just changing on its own with no specific actions on my part to do so.
I can post nvidia info if helpful (and yes, I've looked at their site and have the latest driver installed).
