Though I also tested with a Pioneer 1019AH-K, same problem). The DVI goes straight to a monitor, the DP connector goes through a home theater amplifier (Yamaha RX-V565, And one worse problem! I have a NVidia Quadro FX580, which has one DVI and two DisplayPort connectors. I haven't installed the gaming software or used any of the advanced Catalyst options yet. Everything is still using default settings. Both monitors are set at 1680x1050 and I use 3360x1050 Wallpaper. Also, the exact, step by step procedure that is used when you experience this behavior.ĭell Studio XPS 9000 Intel Core i7 920 at 2.67GHzATI Radeon 5870 (latest drivers) Dual Dell ST2210 LCD Monitors (DVI Connected) W7 Ult 64bit (OEM) 8GB RAM (OEM) I use the built-in Extended Desktop setting. If we could get everyone who is experiencing this behavior to post their associated hardware/software specs, we might be able to discover some common setups, perform some troubleshooting to pinpoint the cause, and try some fixes.

Since my initial post in this thread, I have set up a new system with dual monitors and I have not been able to recreate the behavior that is being described here? Of course, if we knew of a registry setting that would solve this problem, we would have posted it. How do I get windows to STOP reacting to my monitors being turned on/off?Įverything in Windows is controlled by the registry so there HAS to be a registry setting that can achieve this goal. How do I disable this monitor auto-detection so that when I turn my monitors on/off my applications stay where I left them? In the interest of saving time / avoiding you giving a non-answer / run around answer, I'll post my question in a slightly different ways so that you understand EXACTLY what I am asking with the hopes that I can get a straight answer out of you. It appears that Windows 7 is automatically detecting the monitors turning on/off (as I hear the same sound as if I plugged in a USB device) and moving / resizing my application windows once the power is restored. When I wake up in the morning I turn the power back on, and all my applications are moved around. I have a multi-monitor (8 monitors) system and I like to turn off the power to my monitors at night. What registry setting do I add / change / delete to DISABLE this monitor auto-detection service / annoying so-called 'feature'?

Would you be so kind as to plain and simply answer ONE of the following questions without giving run around or answering a different question.
