Consider the following scenario:

• You connect an external display to a Windows Vista-based computer.
• You select the Show my desktop on my external display only option.
• You open the system display settings. Display 2 (the external display) is dimmed.
• You right-click 2, click Attached, and then click OK to enable the internal display and to set it to 2.

In this scenario, the internal display does not function.

Consider the following scenario.

• You use a Windows Vista-based computer.
• You use a widescreen monitor that is attached to a video card.
• The video card uses a Uniform Memory Access (UMA)-based video card driver.

Note UMA-based video card drivers are associated with integrated video chipsets. There is no indicator in the operating system that informs you whether a driver or a chipset uses UMA architecture.
In this scenario, if the Windows Experience Index (WEI) score is greater than or equal to 3.0 in Windows Vista, slide show pictures are not displayed in the center of the screen. Instead, the slide show pictures are displayed on the left side or the right side of the screen.

Consider the following scenario:

• You are running a Windows Vista-based computer.
• In a Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF)-based application, you use the GetDC(NULL) function together with an exclusive-OR (XOR) raster operation to draw on the screen.

In this scenario, the display may become corrupted. For example, some artifacts may remain on the screen longer than expected.

In some scenarios, games and benchmarks perform more poorly than expected on a Windows Vista-based computer. This issue occurs when the games and the benchmarks use multiple display adapters in a Linked Display Adapter (LDA) configuration.

You are deploying Windows Vista, and have specified the screen display resolution in the unattend.xml file. However, you may find that OOBE is not setting the display settings as specified in the file.

On a Tablet PC that is running Windows Vista, if you set a programmable button that is associated with the Press and hold list to turn off your display, the Turn off display option does not work correctly. However, you expect the display to turn off until user input or a wake event wakes the computer. In this case, the display turns off only briefly. The display turns back on when you release the button.

Windows Vista displays the incorrect dedicated video memory size for certain display adapters. The incorrect dedicated video memory size appears in the system display settings and in the Windows System Assessment tool (Winsat.exe).

This problem occurs if the dedicated video memory size is not a power of 2. For example, if a display adapter has 320 megabytes (MB) of dedicated video memory, Windows Vista shows that only 256 MB of dedicated video memory is available for the display adapter.

When you use certain NVIDIA GeForce FX Series video cards to view images in Windows Photo Gallery, you may experience display issues.
