I had an issue where my screen resolution would go from 1680x1050 to
something like 640 or 800 seemingly at random after hybernation, restart
or even in some cases when I resumed operation after a screensaver was
ended by moving a mouse or something. All my icons would shift around on
my desktop, and it was generally annoying.

I found a fix to it by accident.

I run Vista 32 bit.



I right click the desktop, choose properties.

Then I go to display settings, and choose the advanced settings at the
bottom of that little screen.

In this setting screen I have tabs at the top... Color Mangement,
GeForce 8800GT (My graphics card), Adapter, Monitor, and Troubleshoot.

Choose your graphics card tab. For me this brings up a screen that
shows NVIDIA. (just my graphics card maker)

Then I choose "start the NVIDIA control Panel" I chose the advanved
option, it gave me a choice between advanced and basic.

Then here it the fix!

The key was this: Under the display options I have the following
choices:
1) Change resolution
2) Change flat Panel Scaling*
3) Rotate Display
4) Manage Custom Resolutions
5) Set up Multiple Displays

* Choose Change Flat Panel Scaling.

This will bring up new options. My old setting was "Use my display's
built-in scaling"
I changed the selected option to "Use NVIDIA [My graphics card]
scaling"

Since I've done this. I've not had one issue with my screen resolution
changing back on me.

Hope this helps.
