    My WSGXA+ Vostro 1500 is constantly reverting to VGA, especially after awakening from sleep. Anybody have any possible reasons (solutions???) for this? It's Vista Basic with 2gb RAM & 8600M GT.

    I'm wondering if it's a video driver problem, as none of my other Vista machines with integrated graphics do this.

    Thanks much.

    This is due to the Vista GPU driver which might be an older version, try to find an updated GPU driver, install it and retry.
