--> Journey

Just in case I reposting this as it originally got buried in an old
thread with the same Subject line so I re-worded the Subject line to
make it new. I don't know if this has anything to do with my old
reader (Agent 2.0). Sorry for having to repost this.....

Journey, it's sorta bugged me because you spoke of your problem about
a laptop coming outa sleep and being the wrong resolution. I had the
same problem a month or so ago and I don't know how I fixed it but
did. Today I thought of your problem and took a quick look on google
for it. The fast answers I found were to either reinstall the video
drivers or update them. I don't know if you did this already. I
don't think I did this to solve my problem. I think (but not really
sure now) I corrected my registry of errors and that may have fixed my
problem???? Anyway I'll keep looking off and on for you as it bugs
me even tho I solved my problem. As I've said before I'm not a good
teacher but somehow I usually solve my problems in time (perhaps you
do the same).

Anyway I didn't forget your problem.... just got sidetracked by my
own problems .

Thanks RnR. WSZsr responded today in the Acronis TrueImage 11 thread
and said to go in and set power options back to default. I did, and
the resolution problem hasn't occurred since then.

I have been using this free (and very good) utility:

Resolution Changer SX2
http://www.stintercorp.com/rc.php

to quickly change my resolution back to 1400 x 1050 if it goes to a
lower resolution after coming out of sleep. Instead of trying to fix
the problem (because there was no easy fix from a Google search) I
used that as a workaround.

One thing I like about the utility is that if I want to, I can easily
switch to 1024 x 768 resolution in about a second. There are times
when I want larger text on my laptop, and if it's a little fuzzy
that's fine with me, it's very acceptable.

When I posted about that someone said that all I have to do is change
the text size in display properties, but it's not the same because
that setting doesn't affect everything. The utility let's me have
large text like for this response, or I can go back to 1400 x 1050 if
I want more viewable space. Those two resolutions are ideal for me.

I'm happy to hear you solved the problem. I know I found it annoying
too.
