Can't Set The Resolution Higher Than 1280 X 720
Mar 23, 2009
I'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?

Being on a 17" CRT 1024 x 768 resolution for a long time, would it be alright to move over to a 13.3" screen with 1280 x 800 resolution? Yes I've been told by many of the designers that it is not good at all but I think the comments weren't exactly right since they are already working on large monitors with high resolution support. So what say you? Of course I'm no professional in designing, currently still studying and learning.

I bought a GeForce GTX260 and so far it's amazing. But I've been told that the resolution on the computer is based on the graphics card. The highest mine goes to is 1440x900. I've seen some go 1900xsome number. Is it possible to get my resolution higher or does my graphics card not allow that?

I want to buy a new graphics card as I feel the 8800GT is 'weak' now. I want to play games on much higher settings and higher resolutions. This involves buying a more powerful graphics card. Now my question is how do I know / what graphics cards are compatible with my system. Is compatibility motherboard dependent? I know that the Dell PC I have does not have an SLI motherboard, so can it run any GPU? Also I don't know what power supply the PC has. But if it can power an 8800GT it should be okay in powering other cards right? Also do you have any recommendations as to what I should get. Price should be below £160 / 181 EUROS / $261.

is it better to use a higher multipilier or higher fbs. i can get my e8400 to goto 7 x 533 (3731) or 8 x 475 (3800) or 9 x 425 (3800) all stable with the vcore and memory listed below.
multipilier fbs core speed vcore memory ( 1:1 ) temps
7 x 533 = 3731 1.28 5,5,5,15 39/58
8 x 475 = 3800 1.36 5.5.5.15 39/60
9 x 425 = 3825 1.36 5,5,5,15 39/60
what's the best one to use?

My wife has an Epson Stylus Photo 1280 printer. We installed the driver from Vista the issue she is having is she cannot go into the printing preferences to change the size (change the margins) it will not allow here. She prints true 12x12's and under Vista it will not allow her to change these setting under XP no problems. I was able to set a user defined 12x12 paper size. It is not listed as an option to print through the Windows Photo Gallery. And I can?t print it through my Memory Mixer software, it wants to change the dimensions and then it only prints a little square right in the middle of the page.

I'm having some problem with my audio. I have 2 regular speakers. I just bought a new computer (Vista Home Premium installed) and using the same 2 speakers that I had on XP.
Default setting is at 2.1. (I understand that means you have 3 speakers but I only have 2) and there's no setting for "Stereo". And the problem is that the audio doesn't go higher than 50 and the volume is VERY low. I tried so many different forums and couldn't find any results.

I've been reading around for quite a while now, looking for an answer to my problem with no luck in sight (so far). I've recently upgraded to Vista using a dual boot setup with XP. I have a 42" Sharp Aquous (1080p) display through DVI-HDMI. In Windows XP, using the default "Plug and Play Monitor" driver, I'm able to use 75Hz or 85Hz at 1920x1080 (which the monitor does support). In Vista however, with the "generic pnp monitor" driver, it won't allow anything other than 60Hz, regardless of the 'hide modes' check box. Now, some people would say that 60Hz should be fine for an LCD monitor, but here's the problem. With 60Hz, for some reason, the actual screen display size is somewhat smaller than the actual screen size (about a 1-1/2" border all around) which was the case in XP as well (issue with the sharp display i suppose). In 30Hz, the display size is perfect (just as in 75 or 85Hz), but at 30 it becomes very blurry and terrible with any motion on the screen. So basically, I can only use this monitor at either 75 or 85Hz.
This has to be a Vista OS problem (and not at fault by the ATI display drivers). I've read that some people have had similar problems with their CRT monitors as well. Some have suggested using refresh rate forcing programs, but since they were all made for XP, none of them work in vista (I've tried reforce, refreshlock, pstrip and reschange). how to remove the 60Hz cap, or make a custom monitor driver that will allow it?

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.

when 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.

My 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. I sat still for some minutes, expecting the system to restore the previous resolution setting, as you know it does unless "YES, keep this resolution" is pressed, but nothing happened. So now im online with my Scientific Linux Live edition, asking for your assistance.

the resolution I've been running since I've bought my comp has gone missing. First noticed it when the icons on my desktop were reorganized, and loading up a game's log in screen came up smaller than normal. Resolution is 1600x900, completely missing from the display settings menu, only 1440x900 and 1600x1200 are available. Running an ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT graphics card, and I made sure the drivers were up to date before posting here. After hours of scouring google to know avail, this is my last hope before swapping to a different v-card.

I just bought *Benq V2400W* display and connected it to my pc using DVI. It's native screen resolution is _1920_x_1200_ px but Vista will allow me to set only _1600_x_1200_ resolution - anything bigger results in black jumping screen. I have the latest ATI graphic card drivers (Sapphire Radeon 2900 Pro 1GB). What should I do?

I have an older Dell PC and have re-installed Windows XP on it three times. The OS seems to work fine each time but it gives me no way to adjust the resolution. I go into adjust screen resolution and it wont let me adjust anything, the slide bar, in advanced, and under settings. I can't change anything even trying to load the software for the monitor fails?

Well I as you could see I am using two monitors but my main concern is my 27" I can't get a perfect resolution I want it to fit the screen instead of have large black bars all the way around, The only resolution fit is 1280x720 and its really annoying I want it to pretty well fit the entire screen or have smaller black bars.

a couple of days ago i was playing starcraft, in the middle of my game vista suddenly closed everything and started to install updates...after it restarted, it had changed my resolution to 640x480 from 1440x900, changed my theme, and a few other random things. long story short, i now can't download or check for updates, they just don't download, and when my computer shuts down it tries to install updates but it just gets stuck...edit to add some specs: running vista home premium 32 bit on an hp dv9620us laptop.

I've been having problems for a while now where every now and then my PC would boot up in 600x800 Res. And just this past weekend it won't stop happening, every time I try to boot up it is in 600x800 res. Also there's no way for me to adjust this once it's booted because none of my i/o devices are being recognized (Keys, mouse, headset, even the ethernet ports are not being recognized.) Some help would be excellent, I really don't feel like reinstalling the OS Also I'm running 64-Bit Vista Ultimate. My PC knowledge is decent, there's a heck of a lot I don't know though.

Vista Home Premium 32-bit. I understand my ISP only uses IPv4 - Virgin Media Anyway, name resolution does not work in Vista. I operate a LAN behind a router - GTA GNAT 3.42.This is merely a debian linux router kernel with features like HA (high availability et al). I use a PIII Coppremine, 512MB, CompactFlashCard with linux image, 3Com 10/100 PCI on the public interface, 4 Port SMC 10/100 and 2 Port Intel Pro/100. I have no problems with Win2K and Win XP Pro. I can ping and tracert domain name(s) with no problems (Win2K/WinXP);
Unable to do this in Vista.Disabled Vista Firewall for testing. Disabled (unchecked) IPv6 and discovery components on network connection. Disabled IPv6 in registry with DisableComponents FF patch i.e. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSet Services cpip6Parameters Disabled IPHelper service in services. Disabled DNSClient in services (to eliminate cache issues).Tried another NIC in the PC, a 3Com with correct drivers.Still cannot resolve domain names but get IP addr etc. Removed 3Com NIC. Onboard NIC - nVidia - Vista installed nVidia driver at install. As boths NIC fail DNS resolution, assumed not a NIC issue. Network Type - Workgroup (not connected to domain)....

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

I am running vista on a brand new computer which has Ge-Force8800GS card, 2 Gb DDr memory and Intel core2duo processor. My problem is with Flight sim X. I am finding that the graphics on Vista in FSX are much worse than on my old XP setup. I have a 17in Medion flat screen monitor and have tried every resolution setting on it but no better. I have also downloaded service packs1 & 2 but no improvement.

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

what Vista (and XP for that matter) uses for name resolution when on a small p2p workgroup? With no domain or server running DNS and no longer able to run Netbios on the pc. With IP installed I can ping by IP address but what exactly is allowing me to ping by machine name?

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.

After the computer was recently updated online, an unusual problem surfaced. The screen resolution was reset to a much lower value, and I find the appearance of the large icons and type (despite my age) disagreeable. I went into resolution setup and returned the resolution to a previous value...It held for a few minutes and reset itself once again to the lower value. Finally, I realized that the resolution would not hold and returned to a previous configuration.
Now, the resolution is okay when in normal mode, but when the computer has been hibernating, it comes back on at the garish low resolution value. As soon as it reestablishes itself after the hibernation, the resolution becomes okay again. Anyone heard of this? It is very annoying. I have not downloaded SP1, and am afraid to take anymore online upgrades. Vista still sucks.
