Stretched screen upon waking from sleep

Hello,
I am using Vista Home Premium on an HP Pavilion dv6458se laptop. Upon
awaking from sleep, the screen always appears stretched by about 1.3 (width
wise). I know it's not a problem with resolution. I used to be able to
correct it by closing the screen and reopening it, upon which the display
would go back to normal.

Now, however, it remains stretched. I tried shutting down and restarting a
few times before searching these forums. I read advice from someone telling
the user to uninstall his graphics driver and reinstall a new one. So I
uninstalled my current one and reinstalled the newest version obtained from
the HP website (NVIDIA GeForce Go 6150, version 7.15.10.9815)

The problem persists, however... it's quite frustrating. What else can I do
to correct the problem?

Thank you

Re-Format Your Computer And Install Open Source Linux, Just FYI.

Brilliant advice from a stupid idiot. Someone who can't even get a job at
the local Taco-Bell. Just FYI. No wonder why you use Ubuntu!

Just FYI

Is there anyone who can give some actual advice on this problem. I have the
same problem and usually it fixes itself now it is stuck this way. I would
really like some actual help on how to fix it. Thank you.
