Vista Screen resolution Changes when Switching Users

I regularly have a problem when switching between users in Vista - the screen resolution drops down to 800x600. If I try to set the resolution back to the maximum, it says nothing, but just keeps it at 800x600. I can set it back to an intermediate value. Otherwise I have to either restart the PC, or sometimes if I log off one of the users, I can then set the resolution back to max.

nVidia - Display - NVIDIA GeForce 7100 / NVIDIA nForce 630i
nVidia Display software update released in January, 2010

I continued to have the same problem after, but much less.

Something else I did was switch down from 32 to 16-bit colours. And that stopped the problem completely..."
