8600; close lid and reopen --windows are resized

I have a Dell 8600 w/MobilityT RadeonT 9600 PRO TURBO / 15.4'' WideScreen WUXGA TFT UltraSharp display (1920x1200).
 
I have my laptop configured to do nothing when I close the lid. However, when I open the lid again all of my windows that were not maximized are now resized to very small windows. This is EXCEPTIONALLY annoying.
 
I looked through the group and cannot find another post similar. Does anyone else see this problem? If so, is there a solution?

    I've a read quite a few posts regarding this problem - apparently the LCD changes its screen resolution when closing, and thus the icons and windows are resized.

    So far I haven't found a clear solution.

    Nvidia cards also have this problem. In my case it started when updating my bios from A3 to the latest A5. Reïnstalling the moded 52.16 nvidia drivers solved the issue.

    I suggest you search for the latest moded radeon drivers and try to install those

    I was having the same problem with my laptop when i had first recieved it.  The only way i was able to fix it was to go to  http://www.omegacorner.com/index_ati.html and download the drivers.  The omega drivers are definetly superior to the ones that dell supplies with their notebooks.
