Screen Resolution changes:restart and hibernation.

[Guest]

Hi all,
I have Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit oem with computer, i have had 2
computers with this now over 6 months, and its really driving me up the
wall(mad), IF not for media centre, i would sell it(vista) and go back to
XP.(darn wireless never auto connects also)

Problem is when my PC goes to 'sleep' after 15 minutes left on,(flashing
light) and i resume, the resolution dissapears(1220*720), i checked the
driver(nvidia 430) and the screen resolutions have gone from some 9+ settings
to 3! and my LCD 42" LGcd2 TV cannot see screen(have to plug in 19" lcd
monitor). also approx 1 in 6/10 times i restart the PC it also changes, 9/10
times if i restart again, it fixes it self.

resolution i need if 1220*720(hdmi port) and it changes to 900*600 always.

When i updated via Vista OR website (nvidia) the newer drivers DO NOT have
1220*720,so i load from CD.

lastly, i CANNOT leave the TV ON during startup, as i see the boot screen,
then 'loading screan'(round vista icon) then blank(no signal)...ALWAYS. I
must turn on PC, wait a minute, then turn on TV. it seems like some crazy
auto screen resolution settings.

first PC: amd 3500,250meg raidon 550 graphics card,4*512meg ddr1
ram,gigabyte motherboard,150 gig HDD,winfast 2000H HD TV tuner.DVI to HDMI
connection to TV.Vista HP 32bit.
current PC: amd 3800 dual core,2*1 gig ddr2,2*512meg ddr2 ram,gigabyte
motherboard with 128 megs shared graphics card(nvidia 430 series),2*400 gig
HDD,VGA to VGA connection to TV.Vista HP 32 bit.

WHY? its Vista NOT drivers, they all worked fine with XP, just no media
centre...
How do i disable this auto screen resolution searching?

thankyou.

your post is a bit chaotic...

I will give you a small advice here

download powerstrip that will enable you to add custom resultions so that
you can use the latest drivers with your screen

I believe you can later on remove powerstrip and the extra resolution
setting remains

Vista drivers are different from XP drivers. Just because you had drivers
that worked fine in XP doesn't mean you have the correct drivers for Vista.
Even if you have the correct Vista drivers, something else may be
interfering with them. Are you running any other drivers or programs that
are not Vista compliant?

hi paul,
no its the stock vista with vista upgraded drivers ONLY. nothing old, or
from CD except after driver failure later on. Vista 32 bit drivers for my
nvidia 430 do not have my screen resolutions.
its frustrating knowing its there,but keeps dissapearing. its not hardware,
as its been on computers!
thanks for taking the time to answer!
