Display Settings Not Stable
Jun 19, 2008
I have 2 problems & maybe they are connected..I hope I have put in correct forum. I have a problem with my Monitor Samsung Sync Master 2232 BW, I have been running this Monitor perfect using Windows XP. When I recently upgraded to Windows Vista Home Premium, what happens periodically when starting my PC, my monitor can not handle my display settings of 1680 X 1050, what I have to do is alter moniter display settings to 1280 X 1024, turn off PC, then restart PC then reconfigure back to 1680 X 1070 to get my display settings working again.
Although the drivers are 100% up to date, can you advise what may be causing this problem. As this getts annoying having to reset & restart to get settings correct. I have a Dell Dimension 9150 with 2gb memory & ATI Radeon X300 X550 X1050 Series video card Pentium CPU 2.80 ghz - CPU 2.79 ghz, 160 gb hard drive. Also periodically when booting up the monitor will not show anything on screen, dont know if it has not booted correct or monitor display not working.

At some point in the far distant past I was playing around with fonts sizes and dpi settings to optimise the display for my father. I have done something that causes the shutdown options icon (the blue arrow point on the start menu bar) to be "chopped off" so to speak and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to resize it. The attached screenshot explains it more clearly.

All of a sudden i cannot right click on the desktop, and i cannot get into the display settings, i get this message - Your system admin has disabled launching if the display settings control panel.
I logged into the Admin account right now, so surely i should be allowed to do this?

I run Vista on a laptop and have a 2nd monitor hooked up via a docking station. I set my 2nd monitor (i.e. not the laptop screen) as my main monitor, however, after every restart Vista always reverts back to the Laptop as the main monitor. How can I stop Vista reverting backto the Laptop as the main monitor? (This happens aven though at no stage have I un-docked the laptop!)

i'm using A GIGABYTE GA-EP45-DS3R (rev. 1.0) MOTHERBOARD WITH THE Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 / 3.00 GHz processor. i set the vcore in the bios and bootup the system and run cpu-z version 1.46. the bios is set to 1.20 and CPU-Z reads it as 1.16. what reading should i trust? also this board seems to be crap for overclocking. my other board with the e8400 chip will do 4+ ghz. this one i can't get over 3.6ghz and so far thats not stable. my temps are 44c and loaded 56c.

I have reinstalled Vista Ultimate 32 bit 2 times today because I thought I had a virus. I can't get a stable install. I get Vista installed and then start to install my programs when it hangs. After installation I installed Avast AV. Restarted, got connected and went to install my soundcard. As soon I clicked install I went into a loop or something. Nothing but the hourglass or whatever in Vista. I manually shutdown and decided to try the built-in soundcard. The other was a USB. As soon as I clicked anything I go to never, neverland. I can't get out of it unless I manually restart. This is the reason I reformatted to begin with. After restarting I go in to this loop or whatever whenever click anything.

I am having a problem with my PC. It is a home built with a Gigabyte EP45T Extreme motherboard with a Intel 9550 CPU, 4 GB DDR3 Corsair ram, Gigabyte Nivida GT280 video card and 2 700GB Sata 2 drives set up in a RAID0 array. I have tried overclocking and cannot get it stable. Runs fine for a time and then suddenly starts not to POST. I have gone back to completely standard to see if I can find the problem and even with that there are issues. The drive has two Primary partitions and one extended that is devided up into other partitions. The first primary holds Vista x64 and the second is going to hold Windows Server 2008 as a demo trial..........

I need to find a reliable and stable video card for Vista64. I've been using an ASUS nvidia 8800 GTX for over a year and it really sux ...since i installed Vista 64Ultimate its getting worse. My first issue with it, was a power supply compatibility issue with my Antec 1000W power source when not recognizing the power it gets and the nvidia sentinel down-clocking the GPU ... now in Vista64 i have lot's of BSoD's, driver crashes and recovers, etc... I assumed they would eventially get the drivers right, but no luck yet.
My last BSoD it' regarding nvlddmkm.sys (0x00000116) which, from what i read on forums doesn't have a fix till now and can be also encountered with nvidia 9800 cards. So can anyone recommend a video card that its tested (ATI or Nvidia) and it runs smooth with a Vista64 system, with no major driver issues or BSOD's? PS I forgot to mention that i need a card suitable for most of the 3D games as WoW, AoC, Crysis with nice fps. My system is:

See what a little nitrogen cooluing will do!
"A sneak peek given to the press by AMD, showcased their upcoming line of processors known as the "Phenom II".
The Phenom II are AMD's answer to Intel's newest chipset, the Core i7. Hoping to compete in the market with the Core i7 the Phenom II line of quad-core processors will be AM2+ compatible. The first two models to be released will have a clock speed that starts at 2.8GHz. However, one of the key bragging areas for AMD's line of Phenom processors is its overclockability.
AMD claims a 30-40% reduction in power consumption under full load thanks to their transition to a 45nm fab process. AMD has also stated that in addition to the 30-40% power consumption reduction that consumers can expect, they should also expect a 30-40% increase in performance over previous Phenom models.
In a demonstration, AMD displayed the overclocking power of the Phenom II X4, showing it hit 4GHz stable at 1.55v on air cooling with a temperature of 32?C. With water-cooling the CPU broke the 4GHz barrier with a 39?C temperature. For kicks and giggles the Phenom II was shown running stable at speeds higher than 5GHz on nitrogen cooling and even booted at speeds that were higher than 6GHz.
It's too early to say whether or not the Phenom II's can match the power of the i7's as we'll have to wait until benchmarks are released to do so, but the competition seems anything but idle. "

A while ago I bought a ASUS F3Tc and with it I got Vista: Home Premium. So, connecting to a wifi/wlan is no problem at all. But after a while the connection dies, no matter which network I connect to. Even if I sit 2 inches from the wireless router I get disconnectet after a short while.. And that is really bothering me.. because I'm a web-developer, and I have to have a stable connection to the internet. I know that there are alot of other people who have got the same problem as me.. And that is only with Vista. Cause if I install Linux on my laptop, the wifi is stable. And it doesn't disconnect at all.

I have recently installed software called 'Tune Up Utilites 2010' and immediately found a vast improvement and one its recommendations was to increase resolution to 1680 x 1050. Having then done that in 'Display Properties' it then advises to 'Set dpi to 96'.
However, I cannot find how to make changes to dpi.

I want to use my laptop with Vista x64 as both "HTPC" and as a Work computer. Problem: When using it as a HTPC i need to change the DPI scaling in order to be able to read any text on the 27" screen. This is perfectly fine, but when using it as a Work computer this DPI setting wont look nice on the 15" inch screen. So I have to change it and restart the computer, a very awkward process in the long run. One idea i had was to create two users with one used for the HTPC since the DPI setting is global (HKLM) together with screen resolution and other hardware settings (like sound output). I basically just changed the Font size, Icon size and Border sizes for the HTPC user. This works sort of but, unfortunately, only seems to be valid for the Desktop and a select few menus in Vista (like the start menu, main control paned window) most sub windows and dialog boxes are still displayed with the puny 9 pts font
Another wild idea might be to run a "DPI Change-script" at startup, if it's even possible to change the DPI that way. Has anyone tried anything similar? I suppose it needs a restart anyway, but at least it would be automatic. Is there a registry tweak to make the font change apply to everything in Vista. or, a tweak to make the DPI setting Local? (i.e only aplies to current user) I guess, if it would be possible to make Windows apply these (DPI) changes without needing a restart, that would be acceptable.

It use to be when I would open something it would put icons on the task bar on the right hand side. It would only show two at a time and you could Click the arrow to scroll through. All of a sudden it stopped doing that and it adds them on the left and shows all the programs. Any ideas how to get it back?

I was using windows mail, then loaded outlook when I installed office 2003 (wanted word) windows mail was working fine. I lost all my contacts and mail that was in win. Mail (I thought it would transfer over with the install) losing the info was no biggie as it’s a new computer. The problem is at first I could recieve, mail with outlook but not send. Windows did a self analysis I suspect and it told me I needed to install updates. So I did a full updates install and now I can’t send or receive ?? I have a business mail account threw yahoo and used there auto configure to set up outlook just as I did for windows mail. I also tried a manual install of the settings ( although they were showing as correct) but still no mail

I run AVG, Spybot-S&D and Rapport Setup,(web protection e.g.Bank's) but the computer from time to time warns me that I have no protection for Malware and to check the settings.
How do I check the settings? (I am a self-taught user)
Do I need any other software for protection?

i can't modify my power settings. When i try to change my power plan settings it says that my power plan info isnt available. I then go to the FAQ part and it says "If your computer is part of a network at an organization—such as a school, government agency, or business—your organization's system administrator might have made certain settings unavailable or even removed them by using Group Policy. Group Policy is a feature of Windows that lets system administrators manage users' access to Windows features. If you think that Group Policy is preventing you from changing a setting that you need to access, contact your system administrator."
I have NO idea what this means.. this is my personal computer and is not part of any newtworks. I then tried to change my account type to "standard user" so i could fix the problem, but my computer won't let me. I even created a new user account and made that one a standard user but it didn't fix the probelm. How do i gain access to my power plan so i can modify it?

At first I had no problems for the last 4 months when I hooked up my new TV to my laptop. I didn't even change any graphic sttings. It worked great right out of the box. I am using a standard VGA-VGA cable. Last week I hooked up my laptop to an old CRT display to do our taxes. I had to play with the graphic settiings for the CRT monitor to look OK.
Now, when I hook up the TV to the laptop, it only has the middle part of the screen showing the desktop. I have played with the Graphic settings, but no matter what I do, I cannot get it to look like it did before with the wide screen.

I have setup a friends vista mail to authenticate via pacbell.net's servers for outgoing mail. All works well for a few days, then stops working. Upon re examination of the mail settings, the smtp port has reverted to 25 (set manually to 460 something) and the use ssl checkbox is unchecked. I have showed my friend how to re-set the settings so he is not losing much sleep over this one, but it annoys me.
