First what version of Windows are you using? I haven't had to restart to change resolutions in 5 years.

By any chance, is your computer starting up in 'Safe Mode' ?

i have windows me and i dont recall doing anything to put it in a permanant safe mode if it is could you tell me how to turn it off

You should be able to reboot the pc and while it is rebooting tap the F8 key. This should bring up a menu that will allow you to open it in Normal Mode.
