XP Forgets Settings

[Guest Jethro]

My XP PRO SP2 frequently forgets at least some 'settings' upon a fresh

boot-up. For example - my resolution is supposed to stay set at

1280X768 to handle my LCD monitor, but this AM, the machine booted up

to 800X600. The desktop display also threw all my icons to upper left

portion of the screen, requiring me to manually put them back where

they were when I shut down. There are other 'forgets'.

 

Is there a fix or utility for this anomaly?

 

Thanks
