Is this my Latitude or my Dell Monitors?

Ive got an E6400 with docking station and two external Dell P2211H monitors.
I have my power settings turning off my screen after 5 minutes.

For some odd reason after they get turned off by my laptop after 5 minutes, the monitors just come back on. Only to get shut off again 5 minutes later...

This did not happen with my older monitors. What could be causing this?

 

Any issues with the trackpad or touchpoint stick that you are aware of?

 

None that I am aware of, no.
Why do you ask?

 

Anyone else have any ideas?

 

Check for monitor drivers, download them from Dell's website and see if it helps. Usually it fixes strange monitor problems.

 

I just downloaded the latest driver which unzipped some files to my c drive but it doesn't appear to have any executable files?

Was unzipping the drive enough?

EDIT: I uninstalled the existing driver and replaced it and it appears to have worked! Why do I always forget to do the simplest thing first...which is trying to just update the drivers?

Hopefully this will stick.

 

I think monitor drivers have to be installed manually, but sometimes they are pushed through Windows Update as optional. Glad to hear that it's fixed.
