    Hey, I'm posting here instead of Dell because it doesn't seem that there is much replying going on in their support forums. Anyway, I have this minor issue where when I open my laptop from standby, it has to go through a resolution change to what it was originally set at (i.e. I had it at 1440*900 when I closed the laptop, but when I open it, its on 1024*768 and reverts back to 1440*900 within a couple of seconds. The problem is that I keep some icons on the right part of the screen and they get moved into the middle when the resolution reverts back to normal. Does anyone know what can be done about this because it gets annoying always moving the icons back.

    A couple of things I think I should mention which may help out. I had to do some Dell PC Restore Partition that came with my computer because I had screwed it up and it was the only way to get it back to normal. After that I also updated the Intel 945GM card because with the driver that it came with, the mouse would flicker when moved over the animation in WMP. I don't think that this is due to the update of the graphics chip because prior to the Dell Restore, I had done the same thing but I never had this problem with the resolutions.

    Any help is appreciated
