Resolution still changing after Sleep. FE41S

[fldq]

I am still experiencing that my resolution keeps changing after waking up. I have applied latest graphic update drivers and ofcourse the bios update.

Am I alone here? Someone else also still experiencing this annoying effect???

Hi fldq and welcome.

Have you tried applying the Sony patch for this problem?

Here's the link: http://www.vaio-link.com/cbcdl/7.15.10.9813a.zip
(The installation procedure is included in the zip file).

Sorry fldq, I see this revised driver is now on the FE41S Download Site

I presume you have installed it already. Are you sure it's installed correctly?

Yes - thanks. I have installed all sony patches and updates (nVidia Video Driver 7.15.10.9813a 50.45 MB 11/06/2007)and keep getting this problem that my resolution changes after sleep.

I have already contacted Sony and they trying to solve this.
I just cannot imagine that it's just 'me' (fe41s) having this problem..

Did this patch solve it on your pc's????

On my FE41Z the BIOS update and the graphics update worked fine so i find it odd when it doesn't work for everyone.

Also no probs when you are running on battery??

I have noticed that my screen resolution almost everytime changes especially when i am running on batteries and the system awakes...

Doesn't seem to effect it at all. I never shut down my laptop, I always hibernate. Did have the problem before though as i got my laptop before the BIOS update and the graphics update where released.

You can use Fn + F10 to change the resolution back so its not as annoying as right-clicking on the destop etc.

I'm getting the same problem with my VGN-SZ4XWN/C model laptop. Running vista...

On wake, the screen resolution drops from 1280x800 to 1024x768, making it really blurred. It takes a trip to the control panel or a few stabs on Fn-F10 to go back. This problem doesnt happen with a restart.

nVidia driver is latest on offered by vaio support, 7.15.10.9754 19/12/06.

any suggestions on the best way to proceed with this? I am a newbie to the sony experience to please be gentle 😉

The FE41E has the same graphics card as you with newer drivers (probably haven't been tested on business yet but should work fine)

Thanks Matt - its a work laptop, so I'm a bit nervous about trying it - do the vaio drivers play nice with a roll-back if the new one doesnt work?
