wierd problem

[stealthy123]

I have a us robotics wireless network card.
I have an ati x800xl 512mb.
I have a dell 2001fp (1600x1200) native

all drivers are current

my internet works ok as long as I don't have my resolution set to 1600x1200

when I set it to native resolution the connection slowly drops speed then drops completely.
even though it says it is dropping the moment i change the res internet doesn't work.

I spent an hour talking to us robotics tech support and they had no clue what was wrong.

anyone have a clue?

Is this a problem that just suddenly started, or is any of your listed hardware new?

Power, maybe?

well nothing is new except the wireless card, but the thing is it all worked great for months then just started screwing up. None of the drivers changed before it started acting up it just randomly started. It took me a month to figure out that if I dropped my resolution that it would work I had originally thought it would only work while I was gaming, turned out it was that I was gaming at a lower resolution. Does a vidcard draw more power to run at 1600x1200? Never even thought of that. Power supply is an antec 450 so with my meager setup I should think it would be enough.
