display size keeps changing back

If I change the display size it just keeps changing back to 1024 x 768
 
I received my dell inspiron 9400 today and this has happened since I had it.
 
any help would be great - thanks

    Try dowloading and installing the latest driver from support.dell.com
     
    Failing that, try to download the driver directly from ATI/Nvidia and tell us what happens

    Sorry to jump in here but I'm new to this dell forum
    I have a 22" wide screen and my desk top picture looks out of proportion because of the wide screen.  How do i get it to look natural?

    The only advice I have is to download the latest drivers for you graphics card. It worked fine for me.

    Thank you.
    You would think that seeing I just got this computer this week that they would have put in all the newest drivers
    I'll check and thanks again

    Try changing your screen resolution around and see if anything changes.

    Thank I will
    it is set to 1152-864 32bpp right now.  I am not used to a big screen as my old system only had a 15"
    This big computer is all new to me
