wrong screen resolution after login

Wrong screen resolution after login

Hi,
I installed Vista Beta 2 yesterday but keep having problems with the screen resolution on startup. The settings i have when i shut down Vista doesn't seem to stick.
When
im at the loginprompt I have a screen resolution of 1280*720 (which is what i want) but after a sucessfull login the resolution changes to 1280*1024 with a refresh rate of 85 hz. That would have been nice, as long as both my displays could handle that resolution.
My computer is an HTPC connected to a 26" LCD-TV (native resolution of 1280*768) and a front projector (native resolution of 1280*720) and the problem is that my LCD-TV cand handle the increased resolution after login.
Ive tried to install the ATI-drivers with the Catalyst control center but that hasn't solved the login/startup problem.
Has anyone seen these problems previosly? Is there a magic setting to find somewhere deep down in Vista that could solve this problem?
Best regards /Martin Roth

Same problem here. Using a Nvidia Geforce 6800 card (with Vista's own drivers) on a 20" DVI flatpanel, the resolution settings go back to the lowest setting on reboot. Login screen is in the good resolution. The one time I did get the Nvidia Beta Vista drivers to work, the settings did stick!
Also, everytime after a reboot I have to give my password to access my LAN/server. I just won't remember it (and yes, I did select "remember password" :-) )
