Hello all,
I have a concern with Thinkvantage Active Protection System.

Here is what occurs at times.

Current settings 1400x1050 resolution

1. I turn on my T60P
2. I close the lid and do som errands, make phone call, etc.
3. a few minutes later I pick up my laptop, go up the stairs and put it on my desk.
4. When I open it up my monitor settings change to:

1280x1024 and all my icons are all unorganized.

basically what happens is I turn on my notebook, close the lid and after a few minutes I guess the Active Protection senses shocks from walking around and somehow changes my monitor resolution from 1400x1050 to 1280x1024 and messes up my icons.
It just did it 3 times so I need some assistance.
Anyone can help?
thanks!

The problem is unlikely to be the active protection system -- it is closing the lid, with whatever action is associated with that in your configuration. All the active protection system does is unload the heads from the hard disk; it has nothing to do with screen resolution.

The action when closing the lid is set to "do nothing"

I found out when my resolution change

My notebook is first turned off.
1. I turn it on and then immediately close the lid.
2. I wait about 15 minutes.
3 I open the lid and log in as normal.

This is what it should be:




but this is what happens:



anyone can help????

It is tied to the Intel video driver. Make sure you have the most updated driver for it. I am assuming you have a machine with integrated graphics, yes?

Please do not double post about the same topic, moderators will be locking one of your threads very soon.

Yes, this is true, nice pics though, but also don't post pic's without a warning in the subject line. It's part of the rules of the road, hope you get that problem worked out though.
