Hi,
Got a couple of (related) problems with my dell 2408 wfp.
Firstly, the main one, sometimes after the monitors are in sleep mode (when logged out, just turned it computer on out of sleep mode etc) the dell 2408 wfp (my main one) will swap positions to the right, and the one on the right swaps to the left. Also, the my secondary monitor gets the start menu (ie, its the "main monitor" in display settings)
This isn't a big issue - quick fix to just change the position / select main monitor (but very annoying)
The other one though is very annoying. After logging on/out of sleep mode etc, my dell 2408 wfp will default to 800x600. I can set it to any resolution other than its maximum - 1920 x 1200. At the moment i am in 1920 x 1080 and everything in in the wrong aspect ratio / looks weird.
If i set it to its maximum, the screen will flicker (as usual when swapping resolutions) then set itself at 800x600, with no errors/warnings etc.
Normally i can fix it by swapping the resolutions, though i normally have to do this a few times before it'll stick. but after 10 mins this time, nothing (And i can't restart, got few things downloading/open files)
i tried downloading the drivers from dell, which included
2408wfp.cat
2408wfp.icm
2408wfp.inf
what am i meant to do with these? the .cat looks like its just to verify the files are the same (it has sha1 hashes when opened).
The .icm on right clicking has an option to install profile, but when i click this no confirmation or anything comes up - not sure if it does anything?
the .inf has a right click menu option of install, but when i click it, it says "the inf file you selected does not support this method of installation"
any ideas???
thanks
