Dell Laptop...Resolution Issue when I close the lid

[RED_RAIN]

I just did a clean reinstall of Windows XP Home.

I didn't think my laptop did this before.

I have my resolution set to 1600x1200 and when I close the lid it seems to change to 800x600 then refreshes back to 1600x1200. The problem is, by switching down, it then moves the icons on the desktop which is annoying.

Anyone else have this problem? Any solutions?

Is there an answer you know of there, or just a pointer.
