When Display Sleeps It Forgets Dual Monitor Setup!?

Whenever the display returns from sleep or the machine is unlocked, my Vista Business returns the dual monitor orientation to the default setting. I have my 24 inch dell monitor (2) placed above my laptop, Dell inspiron 9400 17 inch screen (1). Both screens are set at 1920 x 1200 connected with the DVI input. I have an NVIDIA GeForce Go 7900 GS. When it comes out of sleep mode and I login back into my account using my password and the mouse moves correctly up to the monitor above for about 3 seconds until both monitors blackout for a second and then revert back to default orientation, right and left. I have to reset it every time…sooo annoying.
I have search many forums on the internet and it seems to be a common. Unfortunately, I don’t think anyone has found the bug fix. I have the latest drivers.
Please someone bring a cure!!! Thx
