Multiple Driver Issue messing with display

derek_jones_36 · 07-03-2009, 11:05 AM

Well I realize that I had solved this little problem before but I can't be too sure if it'll reappear or not. When I'm done doing whatever it is on my system I usually put it too sleep (easier than shutting down). Well occasionally, and sometimes more than occasionally whenever the system is awaken my resolution reverts back to 800X600. This has become such an issue lately as I always have to manually go into my display properties and fix it. Well I realized that my HD4850 has multiple monitor support but two video adapters were listed...both of them are my 4850 but one of them controls the generic pnp monotor and the other dsiplay seems to be stuck on the 800X600 display and cannot be changed. I think the dsiplays are switching on me until I go into the display properties and fix it. I went in and checked the drivers as well for the 800X600 display and it's a windows driver so I disabled it and it appears to have worked. I believe that my system was undergoing some confusion when I was waking the system up. Also there were windows drivers getting in the way which was mucking with the display. There was a windows update option as well from MS with regards to my Video Card. When I installed it I was unpleasantly surprised to find that I was unable to access my CCC Advanced screen. Windows had apparently hijacked my display but I wasn't getting the resolution issue anymore which I wasn't willing to trade up for. Just in case this it an issue with anyone else or if there is some sort of fix available. I checked the problem out on a search but it seems to be more of a laptop issue.

Try going to your laptop's manufacturer website and see if you can get the latest driver from there and it seems like your laptop might of came with some sort of software to control your graphics properties and MS update could have just disabled it on startup.

Click start>run then type msconfig and check the startup tab to see if the software for your graphics is starting up with your PC.

I currently don't have a laptop and I haven't been experiencing the problem on startup it's only during waking up from sleep mode. I disabled the Microsoft Drivers that appeared to be conflicing with my HD4850 whenever I wake my system up. What I believe was happenning was a major conflict with the two separate drivers which was resulting in the 800X600 res. on wakeup. All appears to be good for now.....for now....but you never know when trouble can arise. I was thinking it might have been an issue with the newest ATI Driver....9.6 I think it is.

If you feel the problem is with the latest driver you can always roll back inside device manager.

I am not completely satisfied that it is the current release of ATI Catalyst Drivers since the issue has been pretty consistent throughout the current driver releases in the past. I am firm that the problem was the multiple driver conflict between my ATI & MS drivers. I will probe the issue a little deeper when I am infront of my system.
