    I have annoying problem with resolution switching. When I use my 8510w in office I put him in docking station where is attached Samsung 213T. Samsung native resolution is 1600x1200, but it is always set to 1600x1024 and I have always to manually set to native. But my problems doesn't stop there, when I go back home I use notebook LCD and it is still in 1600x1024, not in his native 1600x1050?

    I have tried with option from HP quick launch software "Automatically detect changes to display settings?" But it doesn't work... I had even trouble turning that setting off. In Nvidia control panel I couldn't find solution for that.

    Does anybody else have same problem? Is there any utility to always changes to native resolution whatever is attached?

    I had the same problem, my resolutions kept switching when i plugged my tv in. It would switch from 1280x800 to 1280x720. It stopped doing this when i configured something on the Nvidia Control Panel.

    You wouldnt happen to have www.laptopvideo2go.com drivers installed?
