    Everytime I have to log back into windows after my monitor goes off or screensaver comes on due to inactivity, my desktop turns into a panning desktop. I just installed ATI Catalyst Control Center and Mobility Drivers 6.9 and they work well except for this one thing. No where in any of my settings do I have panning desktop enabled. What gives?

    running hp nx9420 on max 1680x1050 res, MR x1600, WinXP Pro, all my updates, etc.

    I do see in my display settings it has 2 monitors listed, the Default being my notebook display and the secondary being inactive and disabled, but the resolution can go up to crazy numbers. This only appears in Display Settings and does not appear in the ATi CCC.

    i had the same issues with my nc8430. try reverting back to the HP drivers and see if that fixes it. so far, I've only seen a very slight drop in performance with the older drivers (as in 40-50 points in 3dMark05). i'm hoping HP releases updated drivers soon.
