Hello There,

When I lock my Sony VAIO laptop with Windows 7 on it (ctrl+alt+delete) and unlock after a while the screen resolution changes (I mean the screen size reduces with black patches on all four sides and the font increases). When I repeat the lock & unlock the resolution resumes to its original. What could be the reason for this abnormal behaviour and can I get help to resolve this!
 
Wow, that is a weird one; sadly I no idea why this is happening but I would immediately check for newer graphics drivers on the Sony site for your model and update them.
