Re: Screen resolution changes automatically in windows 7
You can fix this issue by making few changes in the registry. Please note that registry is a very sensitive part of an OS. Any wrong step can make your OS useless so don't forget to take a backup of your registry before doing anything.press "Windows Key+R",type "regedit" in the run command box and hit the enter button on your keyboard. It will open the registry editor. Now expand "HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG " key.Once done, navigate to "System > CurrentControlSet > Control > VIDEO".You would be able to see a key having random numbers. Example of such key is "{F92BFB9B-59E9-4B65-8AA3-D004C26BA193}".On expanding this key,you will see another key named "0000". Simply click on "000" to check their values.We are looking for the one which has multiple values in it.Once found,make sure that the values are same for both keys.In order to change the value of registry key,right click on the name of value and click "Modify".Input the numerical value of your coice in "Value data:text field" where it shows "Base" select and Decimal Option.You need to change the following settings:
Attach.RelativeX - Normally 1024
Attach.RelativeY - Normally 768
DefaultSettings.XResolution - Normally 1024
DefaultSettings.YResolution - Normally 768
Once done,close the registry editor and enjoy.If you are still facing any issue then perform a clean boot.The steps for the same is given below:- Click on "Start" button and type "msconfig" in the search box and hit enter button on keyboard. It can ask for Administrator password so don't hesitate to provide the same.Now a different windows will appear before you.

- After that click on "Services" tab and check the check box which has the option "Hide All Microsoft Services". Once checked that option, click on "Disable All" button and click on "Ok" button.After completing all the above mentioned steps, restart your computer to reflect these changes.
