SYMPTOMS
After you use either the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard or the User State Migration tool to migrate user settings to your Windows XP-based computer, the display resolution is not migrated.



CAUSE
This issue occurs because display resolution is a hardware-specific setting that is not transferred through the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard or the User State Migration tool.



RESOLUTION
To work around this issue, manually change the display resolution:
 * 1) Click Start, click Control Panel, double-click Display, and then click the Settings tab.
 * 2) Choose the resolution you want to use, click Apply, and then click OK.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.
