Vista and monitor problem

I just installed Vista Home Premium 32 bit on my machine.

I have a Benq FP202W (20 inch wide) running via DVI on a eVGA 7900GT CO

I don't usually use screen savers; I prefer to have the monitor turn off automatically after 20 min or so. This worked great in XP.

However, it's a problem in Vista.

After the monitor shuts off, I wiggle the mouse to power it up again and I see a snowy screen. It's as if the signal is all jumbled and crap. When I right click or press the windows key to stimulate some on-screen activity, the snowy colors just change on screen. Windows is still running b/c the sounds still work.

If I use screen savers, it's totally fine. It's only a problem with the power-saving shut down function.

Any advice?
 
I think that's probably another issue with the wonderful (not) nvidia vista drivers. You may want to check out their forums to see if others are having the same issue. Also, what version of the driver are you using? If you revert to the MS driver, does the problem persist? You may also want to try the nvidia beta driver if you haven't already. When I was still using my 6800GT, the MS drivers were the only ones that didn't exhibit some kind of display corruption/issues.

thanks for the reply,

I've used both MS update's nvidia driver and nvidia's latest official release drivers, both with the same result.

I will try the beta drivers now
