Default Icons won't save position, computer loses resolution upon restart
My computer is having problems with the location of the icons and the screen
resolution every time I boot up. The icons won;t save postition (they are
always arranged vertically after restart) and my display settings always
revert back to 800x600 after each restart. Could the solution to this be as
simple as reloading the display adapter driver?

Try this.

Right click the Desktop | Arrange Icons By | UNCheck: AutoArrange

AutoArrange
[[Arranges the icons in columns along the left side of your screen.]]

Do you have the latest XP video drivers from the manufacturer's website?

Hope this helps. Let us know.
