Small startup issue. When I get to the login screen, the resolution has defaulted to 1024x768. After I login, I modify the screen resolution by clicking the Detect button on the Screen Resolution page. The Detect button picks up my monitor name (KDS Visual Sensations VS-190i) and resets the screen resolution to 1280x1024.
The monitor runs on a Nvidia GeForce 5500 FX AGP card with Vista drivers. The video card information is known by the system at startup. Then when I restart the computer the monitor resolution is back to 1024x768 and Generic Non-PnP Monitor. I've tried to update the monitor driver, but to no avail. Any help would be appreciated.
Maybe I'm missing something here, but the only time this is an issue is at startup. Where is the disconnect between detecting my monitor at startup and detecting my monitor using the Detect button on the Screen Resolution dialog? Doesn't seem like a driver would do it. I don't have a monitor driver from KDS and it doesn't look like there is one available or will ever be available.
Furthermore, Nvidia doesn't have a windows 7 driver available for the model GPU I have. I'm at one of those crossroads where it 'worked fine with XP, so why am I bothering with this.'
Finally, I never upgraded to Vista because until three months ago I was running 512 MB of RAM on this machine. I also don't know if this is related, but the computer won't sleep nor will it turn on the screen saver or sleep the monitor after the specified time. Is ACPI an issue here?
