My screen resolution will not stay set. I will have it set at 1024 x 768, apply, OK, then reboot. Usually comes back at 640 x 480. Will take change agian, but periodically when I go to Internet E. or Yahoo it will change back to 640 x 480. Reset again. Sometimes does this 10-12 times in an hour. Monitor is a VPR Matrix 1796. Ideas, please. TIA
