Laptop changes resolution when the lid is closed/opened
- by RedditGuy
hi
i've had a problem for the last couple of days where the resolution on my laptop changes when i close the lid
i'm running windows xp professional sp2 on a dell inspiron 1501
the video chip is an ati radeon xpress 1150 according to the catalyst control center software i've got installed which i think came with the drivers or something
i've seen this happen before but i installed an old game called road rash a couple days ago after seeing it mentioned on reddit and i'm wondering if it might be related
anyone know how i can stop this from happening? i have a workaround where i can manually change the resolution to something else and then change it back but that's a lot of work to do every time i close the laptop which is a lot
thanks!
