    Hey Everyone,
    Something wierd happens when I come out of hibernate. My desktop background dissapears and the resolution of the screen goes one step down. It's really weird, as it never did that before. Everytime I resume, I have to change the resolution and put my desktop pic back up. Anyone else experience this problem or know of a fix? It would be most appreciated. Thanks!

    Right click the desktop and choose "Refresh". That forces windows to refresh the display and remember the settings.
