This is my first try. Geeks to Go friends recommednded you all to me as a possible source for help.

The secrren resolution will not hold. The resolution goes to 8 Bit just after the sign on. At that time I go into the Control Panel and reset it to 16 or 32. It adjusts or applys at that time fine.

It holds for all software I use with the exception of Outlook. When Outlook is called up the resolution goes back to 8 bit. When I log off of Outlook the resolution returns to the 16 or 32 bit resolution. I am using Office 2000. I have tried reinstalling Office to no avail.

Upon either signing off or restarting it all starts over again with the screen going to 8 Bit on boot up. The resolution set at the time I sign off does not hold.

I have XP Professional, version 5.1.2600 service pack 2.

I would appreciate anyone's comments and recommendations on what I might try.

Thanks, Bernie N

I got to ATI for a down load of driver. All went fine until I tried to install. After install Wizard completed I got the message"INF. Error Video Driver Not found". After I hit OK, the next message came up "try to set up you display adapter with a standard VGA driver before running set up"

When I went to hardware manager and checked the adapters Windows said they were all running properly.

Any additional suggestions?

Thanks, Bernie N
