You mean it's the refresh rate that determines it?
I've tried the following, and it seems to have helped: I ran a program
that lets me choose a refresh rate and resolution (not from NVidia, but
it works with NVidia graphic cards). Another utility let me update my
NVIdia driver and seemed to find an even newer driver version. Between
these two, the problem finally has gone away. I wasn't sure what finally
solved the problem, but you seem to suggest that autoadjust and refresh
rate are linked somehow. In any case, I'm glad this worked. You can't
imagine how restful it is to boot into windows and not have to reset the
screen resolution every time!

Thanks for helping out.
