Display problem runniing XP on my Asus EssPC.

I have an Asus EeePC netbook and the screen resolution is 1024x600. I have a fully licensed version of XP Pro, but due to the small HDD size (3.5GB) I'm using a cut down version - Windows XP lite, if you will!

Anyway, everytime I reboot the thing the resolution resets back to 800x600 and I have to manually change it back to 1024x600 in the display settings.... any idea how I can fix this???

Haven't got one but Google tells me that you should also have an 'Astray' utility running in your system tray that should set this for you. If you have reinstalled XP, have you got 'Astray' on a CD that came with your Eee?

I don't know - I will have to dig out the Eee CD's and take a look. It just came with Linux preinstalled on it though so maybe they only include that when you buy it with XP on?

You would be best posting this in the laptops section

Astray is part of the graphics card driver, I believe.
