WTF, why is it doing this by Nathan on 07-16-2007 at 09:44 AM
Well,
Whenever I put my laptop into standby it fucks up things:
It goes all speckly, i'm guessing it has to do with the graphic card/driver...
Can anyone rectify this problem?
Thank you.

I have the same problem with stand-by, accept my computer doesn't come out of it!

Have you downloaded the latest drivers...
Is your gfx card a Nvidia Card because there was a few problems similar to this over at their forums.

Best to keep LSD away from your computer.

Well it's ATI and I can't use ATI drivers cos they dont supply acer drivers 
I use omega drivers 
Lol at the LSD

Does this problem only occur on your Messenger conversation windows?

Laptop drivers can be tricky and are usually special drivers although they run a very similar graphics card that is distributed for PCs. When it comes to looking for these drivers you have to look at the company who makes your laptop instead and I know with Toshiba, they don't update any drivers (though other companies may be different).
There are also usually hacks for some drivers to be able to be used on the laptop version of the graphics card and you could try them (nVidia ones need you to replace 2 files to do so I'm quite sure, I'm unsure about ATI), however, I personally would not attempt this and would prefer to put up with the minor inconvenience (though you can always roll-back your drivers I guess....).
