_"I have found a work-around._
_Using Sysinternals ProcessMonitor I found that Windows was accessing the following Registry path;_
_HKEY\_LOCAL\_MACHINE\\SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\GraphicsDrivers\\Configuration_
_My system had three entries;_
_DELF003YY7707BR0MUL\_30\_07D7_6A^9A3774EB79DEE3E3E38496CC7DF4D936_
_QHD32000001\_31\_07D6_D5^63E1ABDD175E7871DCAEB710418A0F75_
_SIMULATED\_8086\_2A42\_00000000\_00020000_1010100^CDE365D1B3F0942F0CF38BFB8E127AB4_
_Under each is a tree called "00" two of the keys are_
_PrimSurfSize.cx_
_PrimSurfSize.cy_
_Under "00" was another branch also called "00" two of the keys are;_
_ActiveSize.cx_
_ActiveSize.cy_
_The first two of the configs (ie DELF00... & QHD3...) the above keys were 1440x900,_
_so they were not involved._
_The third (SIMULATED...) were set to 1024x768._
_I changed these to 1600x900 and the problem was solved._
_Further I changed resolution (via control panel) to 1920x1080, the moving/resize issue returned,_
_but the lower right corner was set to 1600x900, ie the SIMULATED... settings."_[](http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-hardware/windows-7-movesresizes-windows-on-monitor-power/1653aafb-848b-464a-8c69-1a68fbd106aa)
Use MichealAtOz's advice but within all the folders that are labeled "00" or "01", (etc, I had 00 and 01) look for any settings that contain 1024, 768, or I 4096 in the data values at the end in parenthesis. Change the 1024 to the x resolution of your desktop (the first number in resolutions) and the 768 to the y resolution of your desktop. Change the 4096 number of "Stride" to whatever number there already is in a "00" or similar titled folder that <ins>already has (without you changing them)</ins> the desired desktop resolution numbers in primsurfsize.cx and ...y. Right click the name and choose modify, then select binary as the base to enter correct resolution values.
