Every time I start the computer, the screen setting changes by itself to a lower resolution (800 by 600). I change it back to 1280 by 1024, but when I restart the computer is back to 800 by 600. I have tried a lot of thing but i cannot figure it out. Any help?

Download and reinstall the graphics driver from Gateway's website.

Do you check for, and remove, Spyware ??
Spyware includes ----
Adware, Dialers, Browser Hijackers, Trojans, Cookies,
Key Loggers, Trackware, and other Malware while browsing the internet.

Most Virus and Spyware scans are likely to work better in Windows Safe-Mode.

You can do Start, then RUN, then type
msconfig
Then uncheck items in the Startup tab.
Uncheck Startup items to see if any is causing
your problem.
None of the items are needed for computer operation.

To find out what each Startup(or Process) item
does or means, and any recommendation as to if you should close the process:
