Hounshell
I have a 3 month old Dell bought off the shelf from Best Buy. March, 2010.
Never had these Resolution problems you have.
The only other difference that I am aware of is that this machine does have several user accounts.
My 3 kids and a step-daughter, are all grown up & gone.. broken heart as I be, as I miss them all.
My present wife of 28 years, does not even know how to boot up my computer.
However, now that the kids are gone, I can be assured that no one but me, has been fakking around with my (almost) virgin computer.
