Vista - Display Settings

For some reason, the Display Settings dialog is opening on startup.

I'm using Build 5536 on a Dell E1505 Laptop with 1G RAM & ATI Mobility
Radeon X1400 (512 MB Memory). I'm not certain, but I believe it started
after I installed the Office 2007 "Technical Refresh."

Any suggestions? I can click "OK" and the window closes, it's just an
aggravation.

Thanks,
Craig.

The latest build is 5600. I would recommend you upgrade.

That seems to be a problem with the ATI drivers. I had the same thing happen
every time I startup or resume from sleep since I installed their driver.
This has also been noted by several other people.

Hello,
i have the same problem and i am using ati x700.

Have somebody maybe found the solution?

It's very annoing...

Seems to be a very common issue. I have the same problem with my nVidia Go
6800. It also has problems with multiple monitors. If I choose the external
display as primary, it forgets it after reboot.

Same problem. Build 5600 and NVIDIA GeForce FX Go5650 video card. Yes, very
annoying - having to close the Display Settings dialogue box every time the
laptop wakes up from sleep.
Is that the issue - that Vista forgets which of 2 possible monitors is my
preferred?
Ironically it didn't start until a week or so after I first installed
Vista... hmmm around the same time that the stuttters stopped in music
playback.

Add me to the list. Upgrade to RC1 5600 from MCE2005, and nVidea Go 6600 on a
laptop. "Display Settings" is automatically running when I turn the computer
on. Is it trying to tell me something?

I haven't changed any settings nor tried using a second monitor, but did
ask it to identify the number #1 monitor.
