Display properties cannot be saved.
Here is another mystery with Windows XP:
My display properties, such as resolution and color, cannot be saved once I logged out of my account. I have Windows XP, with SP1 and all the fixes installed, running in my home Dell 8500 laptop with 64 MB graphic card. I changed my color setting to 16-bit one time it is stuck there ever since. Once I logged into my account, I can change any display settings I want, including resolution and color, and it functions flawlessly. If I log out and back in the next time, it resets back to my old resolution and 16-bit color. I setup another account while I am in my ideal resolution and color, and the new account will have that setting. But then that setting cannot be change (similar to what happended to my account). The funny thing is I was able to change my display properties before in XP and was able to retain those properties on my next login, so it is not a "design in" problem. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you, I tried manually changing the settings in the=20
Registry, but it still reset itself. Finally I found out=20 the in the MSCONFIG, there is a Nwiz.exe (NVIDIA wizard)=20 as a startup item. Once I turned this off, the problem=20 went away.
