    Reverts to 640x480 after XP Reboot

    I have a Radeon 9000 Pro, and for some reason, whenever I boot (or reboot) my computer, Windows XP starts in 640x480 mode with a 60mhz refresh rate every time. This happens even if I shut down the box properly, etc, so it doesnt only happen after a crash.

    I have to log into XP using 640x480 mode, and wait for it to "load my personal settings" before I can access the ATI icon in my taskbar to switch back to my standard 1024x768 @ 85mhz.

    Once i change back to my original settings, everything runs fine, until I have to reboot again, and it pops back to 640x480.

    I ran a search and didn't come up with anything similar, so wanted to see if you had any advice for me.

    Thanks!
    I'll fill all of this out later... right now, I gotta PROBLEM to solve! :)

      Intel p3 450mHz
      Intel BX440 mobo
      384MB PC133 RAM
      80gig WD HDD
      13gig IBM HDD
      200W PSU

      Using the most current Cat drivers available from ATI.

      I'll try the different refresh rate thingy, although I really like my 85mhz...

        I think the ATI changes from the ATI ICON are quick temp settings.
        Right click on your desktop and select "properties/settings" and change the resolution with the Windows dialog.

            It would help to know what OS are you using?

                The Radeon 9000 PRO is a dual head card. Just a guess here but if the second display is configured as 640x480 and overlay mode "clone mode" is set to "theatre mode" and the first and second display is both set to primary this would happen.

                I think in theory if both displays were set to primary this could be the case anyway.
                Check the advance/displays settings and see if both displays are enabled and if both are set to primary.

                  glad to see I'm not the only one with this problem. I have even tried uninstalling the 4.3 driver and reinstalling the 4.2s but once the 4.3s have been installed even if you uninstall them using driver cleaner the problem remains
