display problem on Inspiron 8K with 1600x1200 screen.
It looks like the driver is not quite compatible with the high 1600x1200
resolution. Some windows get corrupted until I minimize/maximize them. At boot time, resolution switches back to 640x480. I have to get in display properties each time to put it back to 1600x1200. I have tried 2 drivers: the last one from support.dell.com and the one coming with Windows XP-SP2. The latter gives best results. So I keep using it. I have tried on two different hardwares: Inspiron8000 and Inspiron8100, using the same hard drive. The problem is exactly the same on both laptops. Therefore I do not think it is a hardware problem. Any suggestion ? |

Sorry. I forgot to say that both laptops use Geforce2-go graphics.
