View 9 Replies View RelatedScreen Brightness: Using FN And F10 Does Not Increase Brightness
Feb 14, 2009I have an issue with screen brightness... Using FN and F10 does not increase brightness (swap FN with CTRL is disabled in my bios - FN is FN) The screen brightness indicator when I use the FN F10 key indicates the screen is at max brightness, yet at minimum there is no change in brightness. My ambient light sensor is disabled so I COULD use the FN key to adjust brightness I have reinstalled my chipset drivers, flashed my bios and tried damn near everything to get my brightness up. Currently, my brightness is at minimum, despite my power options saying its full and the onscreen indicator when FN is used telling me the same.
At bootup and in the BIOS I am able to adjust the brightness and it DOES get significantly brighter (and dimmer) when I use the FN keys. I have scoured the internet and have found nothing relating to my issue as of yet, hopefully someone here can help me out. Side note: I have a Compaq 8710w with Vista Ultimate x64 on it (yes, a legit copy) All windows updates are done, I have even done what I normally refrain from doing - installing all of the HP / Compaq base software garbage that they like to preload in hopes of remedying my issues with the screen brightness level....
Adjusting Brightness
Sep 13, 2009Well i've read couple of threads about adjusting LCD brightness in windows vista. I've a vista retail CD so before instaling it, i have a question.
My laptop is TOshiba Portege M700 (nothing to do with my question but anyways)I've problems adjusting the brightness. I've tried couple of things but nothing so i came to a decision of installing windows vista.
I also have a sticker next to my touch pad saying Windows Vista certified something. So i wa wondering if i install it, will i be able to adjust my LCD brightness through a program in vista?

Jun 10, 2008The Windows Experience Index was 2.0, held down because of "memory operations per second." So I just added two 1 GB memory modules. Now the score for Memory is 4.6 (yay!). But the score for "Graphics" is still 2.4. I went to "adjust visual effects" and clicked "adjust for best performance." And so my screen looks ifferent now--I gather this is "Classic Windows," as opposed to "Aero." But the score is still the same: 2.4! What do I have to do to make it go higher?

May 16, 2010My Windows Vista isn't letting me adjust my power settings. Here is what the problem:
1. I click the battery icon in the bottom right of the start bar. Then I lick "More Power Options"
2. On the left panel of Power Options window, I click "Choose when to turn off the display" My computer tells me "Your power plan information isn't available" with a red X next to it. The same thing happens when I try to adjust any other power setting as well.
3. I click on the "Why can't Windows retrieve this information?" and it says stuff about my system administrator making changes, and that doesn't apply to me. I am the only user of the computer and my account is the administrator. I've never tinkered with any of these files to my memory................
Adjust Taskbar Preview Size
Aug 21, 2007Taskbar thumbnail preview in Windows Vista is a great new feature that allows you to quickly see a window without having to fully open it from the taskbar. Instead, you can just hover your mouse over the taskbar item and a small preview window will be displayed.
I have been asked many times if it is possible customize the size of the preview thumbnails. Many have expressed the desire to have larger previews so they can better see the window. Finally, I have found a way....

Nov 16, 2008I am trying to adjust my mixer to accomodate my new speakers, the voice is too low, and the base is too high. I have accessed the mixer and tried to make it tollerable, but have failed. There is no direct bass and treble adjustment, and there is not a "user" or "custom" setting. There are only presets, the problems with these presets, is that they work in certain situations, but not in others. Any advise? Am I looking in the worng place? Can I put software in place to adjust the levels indepent of each other? I am using the onboard sound card on an Abit IP35 Pro, and I am using Home Premium 64.

Aug 15, 2009I accidently hit some key combination that flip the display on my Vista laptop. Everything was upside down and the cursor moved in the opposite direction than what the physical moved. In other words, if I move mouse to right cursor moved to left. Not sure what keys I hit.
Left Hand: Maybe key or or or any two of these.
Right Hand: Maybe or or or
I did these keystrokes with one motion.
I had to use System Restore to get back to a normal display.

View 9 Replies View RelatedODD -- SLI Display During 3D Games
Nov 28, 2008Possibly not even a Vista problem, but this seems to be a pretty good resource overall so I was hoping somebody might have an idea what's wrong. I am running a pair of eVGA 7950 GT cards in SLI, no overclock anywhere, and I get a very odd display whenever I get into some kind of 3d game. I have attached a screenshot of HL2; however, this also happens in WoW so it's not game dependant. Any idea how I get rid of this crazy display? You can see there is some ghetto lettering that says SLI in the top left corner, and there is what could best be described as a green histogram along the left edge of the screen that "breathes" as the scene changes.
View 9 Replies View RelatedDisplay Off To The Left
May 15, 2010When starting up Vista, my display is always off to the left of the screen, meaning my start button is way off the screen and there's a black space on the right, like the display has simply been moved 2 inches to the left. I can fix it, by entering NVIDIA Control Panel and switch connector: back and forth between HDMI-HDTV (audio disabled) and HDMI - HDTV (audio enabled). but if the pc enters sleep or I reboot the problem is back.
Now I know the general problem because I had it with xp also, seems my monitor likes to tell my pc that it's a tv (I'm sorry I'm not into the tech lingo). And I've fixed it previously by changing codes in .ini files and ect. but I'd rather not do it on a new crisp clean first time install of Vista, anyone know of this problem and how to fix it for good?
Display / Graphics
May 2, 2009I have a problem, for some reason when im playing games such as cod4 or gta4 or something. Il be playing fine for quite a long time, certainly a few hours but then randomly the screen will just stop, and the whole computer will freeze.
I noticed that on the frozen screen small parts of it had small purple lines going round them.
Well the only way to get out of this is to do a hard boot and start up my pc again.
Im wondering why this happens as i have all up to date drivers and my pc easily meets the requirements to play the games im playing.
Same Display On Two Monitors
Mar 23, 2008I have two monitors: both work fine. However, somehow, while attempting to get the external monitor to display and not the laptop's monitor, I ended up with an extended view of the desktop on both. Laptop is Vista Home Edition.I followed the link to set up Dualview, but there wasn't anything in there
to tell me how to reverse it.
(url)
I don't need the desktop to be extended across both monitors.I simply want the external monitor to display the same thing as my laptop or have the laptop monitor be blank. I need an external monitor, because the screen on the laptop is cracked.
My laptop is a Toshiba Satellite and within one week of buying it at Best Buy, the screen cracked. (It was in a metal laptop case and did not sustain any trauma, so there is no reason for it to have cracked. Best Buy basically told me to stuff it and tried to charge me for an estimate when I brought it in for other problems with it. Toshiba has yet to respond to my letter about the problem.
