Re: Dell NVidia GPU problem
Our Dell D630 and M4300 laptops all had to have the BIOS updated, new NVIDIA drivers and the TMM Task disabled to stop dual monitor woes. They have docking stations with dual flat panel monitors. They run Vista Business with SP1. The sequence was: - Power up on the docking station (and use the 2 monitors it all day) - Shutdown - Undock - Power up (using the LT on the built in display) - Shutdown - Dock - Power up - the primary monitor would swap and it would be at a lower resolution. If you left it on the docking station, then it would not loose the display settings, ie shutdown / power up without undocking. The above three actions fixed this. One D630 had to have new broadcom drivers or it would connect approx every other boot. The Dell notice did not mention the M4300, this is FYI for the group. Also, there was a reg hack that keeps showing up in newsgroup postings - I saw no change by manipulating it (HKLM\Software\Microsoft\TMM\UseIViewHelper – default is 1). I did notice some extra reg keys after the NVIDIA update in this part of the registry. I think the TMM task in Vista is severely stupid as about 2 sec AFTER logon, the display would change - just like a scheduled task at logon (which is how its scheduled). Disable this and life is good. hth -Devin On Wed, Jul 30, 2008 at 1:21 PM, David Lum [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: THANKS!

Thanks for the heads up I have a couple of the Vostros machines that will need checking.
