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.
