I have Windows on my iMac using boot camp with dual monitors. Every time I switch to Windows 7 the second monitor changes resolution. On the mac monitor side this does not happen.

I would check and see how Bootcamp/Win7 sees the Monitors. If I recall correctly, Bootcamp just emulates hardware, so it may not be passing the correct information back to Win7 to allow for proper identification. The other alternative is to load up the hardware profiles of the monitor directly within boot camp and not let it use Plug and Play monitor definition.
