When I log in, my Vista is turning screen off for a half of second. Then it is turning in on again. It does it twice every time I log in. And sometimes it changes resolution to lower.
System behaves in that way since I bought my notebook.
Hardware:
Notebook HP Compaq 6720s
Graphic card: Mobile Intel 965 Express Chipset Family
Software:
Windows Vista Home Basic
About once a week my screen resolution seems to be changing--I think on its own. I do have small kids that sometimes touch the keyboard, so that might have something to do with it, but I don't think so. I say its the resolution, but I am not even sure of that. When it happens the icons get bigger--and webpages font sizes become too big for a page. I have tried manually adjusting the screen resolution, but that doesn't seem to be the answer--it doesn't put it back the way it was before. To fix the problem, I have been restoring my system to previous dates---but it always seems to re-occur.
View 7 Replies View RelatedIn experimenting with different resolutions I tried (1), but when I tried to change it I was unable to reach to the bottom of the window where, I imagine, choices reside. I've dragged the window up as far as it will go and dropped the Taskbar down out of the way, but I still cannot reach the buttons to change the resolution. What key strokes or other actions do need to do to change the resolution?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have my screen resolution set to 1920x1200, native is set to this, nvidia control panel confirms it, yet every time I restart after a shutdown or an update, my screen resets to some random low resolution such as 1020x768 or 800x600 (the worst of the 2, it set the colors all funky). Every time after it does this, I have to go back and change the resolution back, and move all of my icons back to their places. I have tried everything to get rid of this problem, even such as to change the registry defaults for resolution. I have base video off, and all other solutions people seem to have do not work. I have had lots of experiences with computers, but this one has stumped me. If I missed a default or it is one of those things that just is so obvious that you overlook it
View 4 Replies View RelatedIt won't even let me type www.vistax64.com because the window "refreshes" so quickly. What I did, was going through my active processes and started to end processes to see what would stop the "refresh". I found that when I stopped the processes for explorer, my window became useable. But this meant that I don't have any desktop icons or start button, taskbar, etc. The problem is not related to the video driver, since I am using a brand new driver provided by HP. my computer is a tablet PC. It was working fine until I decided to upgrade the bluetooth driver (which was made available on the HP website).
View 4 Replies View RelatedI bought a new PC two days ago along with Gforce 9600 GSO 384 mb DDR3 and I am running windows Vista. My problem is that when vista ask for permission to open any program my monitor blinks for a nano second( monitor turns black) otherwise the system is performing good. Is it the problem with the old CRT monitor or some kind of driver problem.
View 4 Replies View RelatedWhen starting up there's just a blank black screen with a blinking cursor on the top left of screen.
I waited for hours and still won't boot.
I tried fixmbr, rebuildbcd from Vista DVD and it didn't help.
Any help? I'm tired of reinstalling Vista again and again.
My monitor will blink randomly, and usually come right back on, but sometimes it will be off for 10 secs or more.
Hardware:
I'm not sure about the motherboard, I'm not at home. But it has PCIe, DDR3, Socket 775
550W PSU (came with the case, not sure what exactly.)
Intel Q6600 Quad Core
Corsair 6GB DDR3 RAM
NVIDIA GeForce 9800GTX hooked up via HDMI to a 32" HDTV.
Now, the only thing that has changed is the mobo and ram. I haven't updated the BIOS on the mobo yet, but I suspect that may be the issue. I have the latest drivers and updates for vista.
Anyone had problems with a blinking screen before? I've been told it may be that the video card is overheating... that's not it, because this happens under no load at all.
I've also heard it could be the PSU, but I had no problems like this for 4 months before I replaced the MOBO and RAM.
I have a new Dell Inspiron laptop (Vista) and I'm running it to my Samsung 50" DLP TV (HLN507W). I'm using the TV as the external monitor using a standard 15-pin cable (the TV has a 15-pin input specifically for this application). I can hook up the laptop to the TV and see the desktop on the TV just fine. However, about 30 seconds after I hook the laptop up to the TV, the TV starts to blink (about every second or so). I never had this problem with my old Dell desktop (running XP), and I had the desktop hooked up to the TV for about a year. I've tried all five resolution settings on the laptop, but they all have the same problem. The Samsung manual suggests 1024x768 as the optimal resolution, but again, the same blinking problem results.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI've got a new PC witn vista on it and i noticed that the edges on every window is blinking and it effects every windows i open espically the search bar in windows. Well i've searched every where for a solution and I found some. Some say the Display card, some say Bluetooth driver, some say ..... etc etc. Non of these solution helped me, and i bet som people are still buged with this problem.
Well I've found the solution Click on start and type "Services", Scroll down to "Shell Hardware Detection" right click on it and choose "Properties" Disable it from "Startup type" and Stop the service, a message will tell that another service will be stoped, and it asks you if you want to go on, well if you want to get rid of the blinking, you'd better go on. After stoping the service you will notice the blinking is gone, but just to make sure, restart the computer and check. I am sorry for not beeing able to attach any pictures to make it easier for some people, But i'm not good with writing threads either.
I have a Dell Inspiron notbeook, pre-installed with Vista Home Premium. Apart from what came from the manufacturer, this machines is pretty much clean - that is other than the Trend Micro Security suite installed, there is nothing else. Maybe the Adobe Flash and Adobe reader. I have downloaded the SP1 and installed it. The installation went smooth until it shutdowns and restart - message was something like - 1 of 3 updates... x% It went for about 6 hours apparently idle - the screen is black with the cursor blinking on top left corner and non responsive. I decided to turn it off and when reboot the machine displays a message - Resuming Windows and goes back to a black screen with the cursor on the top left corner and unresponsive.. Tried to reboot in safe mode and it does not work - it just displays a message Resuming Windows and goes back to a black screen...
View 5 Replies View RelatedCouple of days back at the time of booting my laptop I pluged in my iphone for charging. As it saw a new drive it started to scandisk it. I unplugged my iphone and restarted my computer as I was in a hurry. The scan was just taking a lot of time. After that my vista is not starting up. It goes and get stuck on a blank screen with the cursor blinking on the top left corner. As I have lost my original repair CD I made a recovery disk by downloading a vista recovery software for X64. Ran that and it did some thing and fixed the problem. But still I cannot boot my vista. It gets stuck on the same screen. Using this disk, system restore and complete recovery is not working either. Any one has any other tricks of making me pass the black screen. :-)

The system is totally virus and spyware free, and the anti-virus is not scanning (schedule scan disabled). All Vista updates are installed. Nothing has helped. I've run out of things to disable. I'm running Vista Business SP1, Dual Core 2.2 Ghz, 3 Gb RAM.
I have a problem with resoution. Natively it is set to 1440 x 900, but somehow it changes itself to 1024 x 768. At first I thought that changing the resolution in display manager would help but then I found that there wasn't such a resolution to choose (!), but there had been before! So I restarted my laptop and the logon page was still in the smaller res but after logging in everything came back to normal. For a while, unfortunately! I don't know what I could do else? I have tried display manager, checking if there were any updates for my graphic card and recently updated windows. I'm running a toshiba laptop with ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600 card and windows vista home premium.
View 6 Replies View Relatedwhen booted up her (Vista Home Premium 32 bit) computer, the screen resolution was screwed up (1024x758 is now the maximum possible, as compared to 1680x1050 before). I've had a look at it and can't see anything obviously wrong. I updated the video card drivers. The nVidia control panel also says that 1024 is the maximum. I tried setting it in the display panel so that all resolutions will be displayed, rather than just what my monitor 'supports', but that still has a max of 1024. nVidia Control panel is having the same problem.
View 4 Replies View RelatedMy screen can only support 1600x900 resolution,l but i didnt know that and when experimenting, i changed it to 1600x1000, which turned the screen black and displayed the message "out of range" or something like that.

So now im online with my Scientific Linux Live edition, asking for your assistance.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm running Vista Ultimate 64-bit. I have a 24" LG Flatron L246WP-BN HD widescreen monitor and an integrated Radeon HD 3300 GPU on my ASUS M3A78-T mobo. After buying the monitor I realized it wouldn't work properly with my old system so I built a completely new one. (Check out my full system specs.) The monitor's native resolution is 1920 x 1200.
The problem I'm having is that I can't set the resolution higher than 1280 x 720. If I do I lose almost one-half of my screen (everything shifts to the left so I can't even see my Start button, etc.). Am I doing something wrong? What good is it having a widescreen 24" 1920 x 1200 HD monitor if I lose half the screen by setting it to it's native resolution?
My Vista is about 10 days old and I've gotten into some problems. I tried changing the dpi to 150%, but it changed to 192% and I cant' get it back down. The 'apply' button is beneath the taskbar and not reachable! Same with the resolution--I made it less, but it is too fuzzy. However, can't get it back because 'OK' button isn't accessible. In Word, I've lost the regular 'save as' format and it takes me to some screen that won't work
