Win7 loses display settings

Running Win7 Home Premium 32bit.

This is the 2nd time in around 2-3 weeks. I put the machine to sleep, per usual, by closing laptop lid. Upon reawakening (by raising lid), the display was fuzzy weird and not the sharp 1920x1080 native res that the main display is normally set at, although I think that the res was still the same according to Windows, the display looked weird, as if a couple of images were superimposed ~1/16" apart. I have the machine outputting to two displays, a 23" and a 19" flat screens via mini-dock (it's a Lenovo T60).

The 19" was showing "unsupported display settings."

Like last time, I went through several hoops to get the displays looking right. I couldn't actually change the settings without a reboot this morning!

What could cause Windows to lose its display settings?

Driver issue is likely.

Which display is fuzzy and which display is showing unsupported video?

Does the laptop display have any issues?

What connection are you using from dock to displays?

Which video card is your T60 using when sending display to the screens? If it's the same T60 my searches pulled up, Windows Update may still not have a good Windows 7 driver for those ATI cards. An old thread, but still a good suggestion over here:

This machine has the built in Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950, no plug in card. I believe the graphics chip is built into the motherboard. My other T60 has ATI graphics, but not this one.
