I have a friend who kept having this problem and we kept resetting the
display settings. I finally found this solution on
[url]www.askmetafilter.com:[/url]

I had the same problem, and according to my googling, so have
many, many others. Dell tech support was sure that installing new
drivers would fix it (it didn't), others have suggested switching the
resolution of your wallpaper image to match the screen's native
resolution. That doesn't work either. Nor does switching to a blank
screensaver (another web suggestion).

The actual culprit is TMM, Vista's process that looks for multiple
monitors and attempts to intelligently modify resolution. If you aren't
using multiple monitors, you can disable TMM:

1. right-click on 'computer' and select 'manage'
2. on the left pane, expand 'task scheduler' then ' task scheduler
library' then 'Microsoft' then 'Windows' then 'MobilePC'
3. select TMM in the center pane, then on the right pane, choose
'disable'

Now you should be able to close your laptop, let it go to sleep and
when it wakes up it will still be in your preferred resolution (also,
the screen won't go blank for a second right after waking up)

I'm not sure if you will have to also disable it for future windows
sessions (maybe in the 'triggers' tab on the bottom of the center
pane).

It seems to have worked for her. The resolution seems to be stable for
the time being (anyway).Go to the full post...

Good luck.
