For those of you who know more about these things than I do, I have a question: How come every time I turn on my windows computer I set the screen resolution to 1680x1050 and yet, every time I turn it on it's reset itself to 1080x768 and I have to change it again to make things display normally? Why can't it just stay how I put it? Also, why does it think my flash drive is a new piece of hardware it's never seen before EVERY TIME I plug it in??
Someone, help me...

it always read a flash drive as new - as for the resolution thing...no idea.
my computer at work doesn't tell me I've installed a new piece of hardware every time I plug in my flash drive. Neither does my mac... oh wait, my mac NEVER said it, not even the first time I plugged it in :-D
the resolution thing is by far the more annoying of the two issues.
oh, and while I'm wondering, when I go to eject the aforementioned flash drive, why does the computer give me an option to "safely remove" my hard drive??
I can't even imagine the havoc that would wreak on my system...
::sigh::
windows
::shakes head::
I'll take a stab at an answer but first I need to know:
Is this Windows XP or Vista?
Are you running it with administrator privileges, power user or what?
It's windows xp. It's a home computer and I'm the only account as far as I know, so I imagine I'm the administrator.
YES! problem solved. thanks uncle rene!
ps. in case anyone was wondering, I updated the driver for my graphics adaptor. I guess when you build the computer instead of buying it from Dell or wherever, it doesn't come with all the latest drivers. ahem, I mean, when you have your brother build it...
:-D
