When I open the lid of my Dell Inspiron 1420 notebook it comes out of
standby fine but the display resolution is reset to 1024x768 from 1440 x
900. I have to manually change it to 1440 x 900. This happens pretty often
but not
always.

Has anyone experienced this? Any idea where to look for a fix?

I have a clean install of Vista Business with all the latest Dell drivers.
The newer Intel display driver will not install. Pretty weird as I have
never had a problem installing an Intel display driver on a Dell. When I
attempt to install the Intel driver, it advises me to see Dell!

YES! I have the same problem, and apparently my husband just got a new
computer at work that does it too. Very frustrating.

I found a discussion board on this on howtogeek.com (http://
http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic...settings-issue), but the link
that helped someone else doesn't work for me. I'm trying to figure out
this out on my own, but maybe you'll have more luck. If I figure it
out, I'll post again.
