I have a question about Windows keeps forgetting simple settings, such as screen colors!:

Okay, it's a little bit more complicated than the article. I tried what the article said, and it still doesn't work. My computer is stuck in 640x480 and 16 colors, and though I have tried REPEATEDLY to change it, Windows reboots and forgets that I changed the settings. This keeps happening. Windows keeps resetting everything and I can't understand why, but it's driving me insane! Help, please!
