I got a new dell a few weeks ago and set the machine up the way i wanted part
of this was a screen resolution if 1024x768 last night i setup broadband for
my machine and during one of the restarts for changed setting the resolution
switched back to 800x600. and even though i keep resetting it to 1024x768 it
keeps going back to 800x600 every time i restart my machine.

vanouten,

Double check that the "correct monitor" is set for your computer.

If that does not solve it....try deleting the existing "monitor" in the control panel > system properties > hardware >
device manager > monitors

Then re-start your PC
