Running PowerDVD 3.0 on Windows 2000 on my 19" LCD I'd always get a dialog at the start asking me if I want to run 640x480 instead of the 1280x1024 I'm currently running. I always said "Cancel" because things ran fine. There was a checkbox labled "Don't ask me again" which I always left unchecked. Today, I checked it and stupidly clicked "OK" instead of "Cancel." Now, my res is changed to 640x480 and it's driving me batty. Uninstalling and reinstalling PowerDVD didn't fix things. I figure there's a registry setting (I couldn't find a file under the PowerDVD install directory with today's date), however searches of the Registry on "PowerDVD" or Power don't turn up anything for PowerDVD. Anybody got a clue what I can do? Thanks!

Don't know why my search of the registry on PowerDVD or DVD failed to come up with it but another search (this time on the tedius "DVD") turned it up. All the settings are under

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\CyberLinkHKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\CyberLink

After uninstalling the program, I deleted that key and reinstalled and now the program's running OK again (better than before, actually). Unfortunate than an uninstall doesn't get rid of that key and it's dozens of settings.
