Screen Resize always resets on reboot

I have recently reinstalled Win98 SE on my laptop.
I can resize the screen. After a reboot it always resets to 800x600. This happens
either with an attached monitor or with the laptop's own screen. If I select the
option to restart the computer after resize, it will come up correctly after the
reboot, and then revert to 800x600 on the subsequent reboot.
The setting for colour (256, vs 16 bit vs 24 bit) is always retained correctly.
I have looked in many places, but can't find any references to this problem.
Any help here would be VERY much appreciated.
TIA
Steve

Have you reinstalled your graphics drivers?

I believe so. I installed the "NeoMagic MagicMedia 256AV" display adapter when
I rebuilt the core system.
I can't see any other graphics driver. Is it worth trying to reinstall the NeoMagic
driver??

If you reinstalled the graphics driver after you reinstalled Windows, then
I am at a loss too. It may be worth trying to reinstall the driver. Maybe other posters
here can help.
