Every time my Dell 1420 wakes up I need to reset the screen resolution from
low to high. I click apply and say yes when asked if I want to keep the new
settings. Why won't the resolution stick?

I had this on an Inspiron 1501, newer video drivers fixed it for me.

I've seen nowhere in this thread where anyone mentioned disabling TMM.
I had this same roblem with my XPS M1530 and disabling TMM solved the
problem for me.

*-Information-*
Transient Multimon Manager (TMM) is a Microsoft Windows Vista operating
system feature targeted at improving the user experience of connecting
and disconnecting displays, particularly for the mobile user. This is
the 2-3 second delay followed by a blank black screen as Vista searches
for monitor changes when you startup Vista. For more information on TMM,
see: *'Microsoft: Transient Multimon Manager (TMM)'
(http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/system...epc/TMM.mspx)*[image:

*-NOTE-*
TMM is enabled by default in Vista. Disabling TMM will get rid of that
2-3 second delay at startup.[image:

*-WARNING-*
If you do not use a *external monitor* for a mobile PC or *multiple
monitors* on a desktop PC, then you can safely disable TMM. Do not
disable TMM if you do.[image: http://www.vistax64.com/images/warn.png]
