Cant return to 1280x1024 video resolution after installing Nvidia Driv

Hello. May be is a basic answer (Im new on linux, I only have more than 25 years of Windows). After installed Q4OS I have the right resolution of 1280x1024, but a notice after installation said that I should download and Install Nvidia drivers. After download and install Nvidia drivers the resolution changed to 640x480 and I have no options under PC Confiiguration or Nvidia Configuration to return to 1280x1024 (the best resolution under config is 640x480). I read a lot on forums and try some commands lines trying to change xorg config without  any good results. How can I solve this?
The video card is a gforce 6200 with 256mb ram. The Pc is old, an Athlon XP 2400 (no SSE2) with 2GB RAM DDR 400.
Regards

You may want to reset the video settings using terminal command below:
$ sudo vd-reset
This command will backup and remove the 'xorg.conf' file generated by Nvidia setup, and reset Xorg video system to its default configuration.
