Default Windows XP loses dual monitor settings upon logout / locking of the computer...

Question: Hi. I have a Windows XP machine that is running a dual monitor configuration. When the user logs out or locks the workstation, the user logs back in to find that his dual-monitor configuration is gone. And must tell XP once again to "Extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor" within the Display Properties.

Thus far, in troubleshooting this issue, I have:
• Reinstalled the video card drivers
• Disabled the power-saving "turn off monitors" setting within XP
• Disabled the screensaver (and the "On resume, password protect" options)
• Checked the configuration within the video card application.

This is a resolution for a client of mine, therefore I am assigning the maximum amount of points in hopes of an expedient solution. Thanks, in advance, for your assistanc
