Title: Screen resolution
Post by: John on August 13, 2010, 03:45:15 AM
My computer automaticly sets the screen resolution to 1024x720 or something when i get it out of standby mode :/
normally its 1440x900, and i have to re-set it manually, is there any way to prevent this from happening, or have something that automaticly sets it to 1440x900?
thx

Thats kinda odd of a problem... Are you sure your applying the changes? make sure you always click apply before you click ok. then restart and see if it worked...

Or if you have multi users you'd have to go into the root admin and change the settings and apply. the problem could be causd by other users having diffeent setings.

It's under mainboard tab


And your gfx card should support vista o_o


EDIT: I think I know the problem, Monitor model & make pl0x


Your monitor drivers are probably wrong

You've tried updating your display drivers right?

Also, and I know it sounds strange, but try changing your screen saver to "blank". Vista tries to adjust the resolution to fit the program. If your screen saver prefers a lower resolution, it'll change to that before going into sleep mode. When it "wakes up", it forgets to change it back.

Just saying since this is a windows bug. If it were to be a major one that alot of ppl have then Microsoft would release an update.
Just reminding him just in case he never updates :3

Why not just disable your screen saver? Just turn off your monitor when your not using it. :cake:
