Some programs change the resolution to run properly. This is especially true of some older games, TV Tuners, Virtual-PC, and a few others. If it's a good program, it should put thengs back how they were when you close it.
Vista will also restrict the resolution, visual-themes (like disabling Vista Aero), and other things if it detects an known compatibility issue with whatever is running. I have this with RealPlayer...it should go back within a few minutes of closing the program though.
Lastley, programs that display on external monitors usually change (stretch/shrink) the LCD resolution to make it look correct on the external display...again, it should be put automatically back to normal when the program finishes or the external screen is unplugged.In Vista, screen resolution change on a particular program startup?
Resolution change happens because the program needs a specific res to run. If it doesn't use that res, bad things happen, and the program might not start. Just ignore it, and keep your eyes in the program. It should automatically switch back to normal after being closed
What program is it??
No program should have the right to change your rez.
Update or re-install your graphic card.
