Settings change when I dial-up to AOL

I have XP Pro, and for my sins, AOL Dial-Up.
I have my screen resolution set at 800 X 600 and 32 bit colour. Since yesterday am, every time I go on-line, the settings alter to 640 X 480 and 8 bit colour. If I wait for about 15 minutes the problem resolves itself, [Time I can't spare] or go into CP>Display>Settings and reset to 800 X 600, the colour quality resets itself. The Windows start up and PC off-line is fine.
Why is it doing this & is there a cure? [Short of kicking it round the garden , and binning it]. I have spent about 18 hours out of 36 trawling the web, trying to find an answer.
This Grandma has had to learn the hard way in the past 2 years.
I have run antivirus, Trojan checks, Spybot, A2, Stinger, and all clear.
Any suggestions gratefully received.
