Question Resolution changes when windows start up? - 07-28-2009, 02:21 PM

Hello, when I start my computer up the blue welcome screen is in 640x480 and so is my desktop for about 5 seconds and then it changes to the correct 1024x768 resolution.
I tried reinstalling the drivers and the virus scan does not show any issues. Does anyone have any idea what this could be?

This is fixed in BIOS A01 or A02.

Update your BIOS/firmware. The current version is A05.

If you don't trust the Windows updater there is a couple of threads on here on how to do it outside of Windows.

Thanks it worked! I still get a small flash like before when the icons are loading but atleast the resolution stays the same. I love this forum, a lot of helpful people that don't make you feel dumb
