Everytime I turn off my pc, my resolution reverts from 1600x1200 to 800x600 and my refresh rate resets to 60hz. This was not always the case, I cannot think of anything I changed when the problem started happening.

Has anyone else run into this problem?

That's actually the first thing I tried. Unfortunately it did not solve the problem.

In device manager, is the monitor shown as plug and play, or the make and model

[sweetcheebs]

It is shown as plug and play. The monitor I own did not come with drivers and does not seem to be supported any longer. It is a Cornerstone c1035. I have searched for drivers with no luck.
