Desktop rebuilt and open windows resized after sleep mode.

I have Dell M90 with Vista Business. On several occasions, I've reopened the
machine and logged in to find my desktop icons rearranged and all open
windows resized smaller and repositioned at the upper left corner. It's as if
while emerging from sleep mode, it assumed I had 1024x768 (or even 800x600)
resolution.

Has anyoine else experienced this? Is there a fix?

Hey Jeff

I happen to work at Dell as a member of a team that tries to hel
customers online. I did a little digging, and found that the problem i
currently being researched, and appears to be a driver issue of som
sort. This issue was discussed in the following thread

'http://www.dellcommunity.com/supportforums/board/message?board.id=vista&view=by_date_ascending&mess age.id=21571#M21571
(http://www.dellcommunity.com/support...d=21571#M21571

The customer in question was able to come up with a workaround tha
involved first downloading the NVIDIA driver from NVIDIA directly, an
then using a modified INF derived from this site
'www.laptopvideo2go.com
(http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/) . The main drawback to this was tha
the driver was no longer WHQL compliant, but it solved the problem
You'd only see a problem with this if you tried to view protecte
content due to DRM features in Vista

I don't know if this is something you could do or not, but really isn'
a solution we can help you with much due to liability reasons: a.k.a. i
involves a "hack". Eventually, an updated driver will be available t
clear this up. In the meantime, if you feel comfortable doing somethin
like the poster suggested, it *may* do the trick! Since it isn't a Del
supported option, I obviously can't guaranty that it will work, but i
may be worth a shot
