Catalyst resolution settings not sticking?
I thought it was about time I upgraded my driver for the old 9500 Pro, so I
completely uninstalled the old one (6.4) and installed the latest: 8-12_xp32_dd_ccc_wdm_enu_72271 All was fine to begin with but upon rebooting it no longer remembers the resolution settings and reverts to 1024x768 I've done a search but can't see a reason for this, any suggestions are welcome. Regards, Gary |

Regards, Gary Try just the display driver and not the entire Ctalyst suite. (it's the one with 8-12_xp32_dd_72271.exe file name) Failing that, post more details about your system as well as trying progressively older display driver versions from the present...... |

I've not had a chance to do that yet, but it would appear the problem is caused after setting the TV display. This defaults to 1024x768 (where it normally shows a scrolled portion of my desktop 1680x1050 resolution). It doesn't appear this figure can be changed and thereafter causes the desktop to always boot into 1024x768 |

I've switched back to an older version: catalyst-8-111-050222a-021277c
No problem with that, so it's clearly a problem with the later/latest version(s) |

I've since tried other earlier versions, the problem seems to be appear with
the big change in Catalyst, I think when it requires Net Framework to function. Anyone know the final version before this? It seems such a glaring error I'm amazed that no-one else has encountered it and that it's not been fixed by now. |

It seems such a glaring error I'm amazed that no-one else has encountered it and that it's not been fixed by now. I just put upgraded to a HD3650. If CCC has to reset my card my desk top always goes back to 1024x768 (from 1280x1024). This only seems to happen with one game (Raven Shield) and then not often. A bigger problem I has is CCC, for some reason, begins to grow in memory usage until my desk top begins to slow down and then studder. I have to start Task Manager and close CCC which fixes everything. I would remove CCC but the card reset lets me continue the online game to get to good exit point (or get killed...LOL). I used the driver on the HD3650's CD, I will update sometime soon. |
