Screen Resolution Poblem

Hi,

Some drivers have to be reinstalled after SP1 is applied. Try this with your
intel graphics driver.

Thanks for the response, Rick. I'm not very sharp with this stuff. Shall I
remove the Intel driver using the Device Manager and restart? This update
is listed -as of 5/20/08- in my automatic update list. I don't have access
to the software anywhere else.

I think I just learned how to "reinstall" the driver using the Device Mgr.
I'll see how it works for a few days and get back to you. Again, thanks
for the response. (About 7 or 8 years ago you helped me with a problem my
grandaughter created on my computer). It's great to have you still helping
us! bobg :)

Hi,

Go to HP's support site, look up your model number under the downloads
section and grab the latest driver for the video system. Download to your
desktop and install it. Unless their site recommends that you do so for your
system, there's no need to remove the current version in Device Manager.

Hi Rick, As you suggested I updated my Graphic Driver at HP but still had
the problem of the screen resolution changing during the "sleep mode." I've
been using the feature which lets you have a higher DPI on the Techs. I
tried dropping it to 96 which I understand is standard. This fixed the
problem. I'm mentioning this in case someone else has the same problem.

Thanks for your help. bobg
