View 1 RepliesI just bought a new desktop with Vista Home Premium,and when I hooked it up to my 19" LCD flat monitor I have two Black bars about 1 inch wide on both sides of monitor. Is there any way of changing this?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm so glad i've found these forums, I just recently got a dell inspiron 530, Windows Vista. I recently did a factory restore on my computer and now everytime i put it in sleep mode, it wakes up after a few seconds without me touching it and I want to prevent it from waking up without my command. Also when I view videos in full screen on the internet, I have these two black bars that appear on the left and right of the screen, how can I get that off?
View 4 Replies View RelatedJust within the past week I put in a new psu and replaced my old graphics card with a gtx 260. I played assassins creed which came with the card, and i cant remember having any problems with it and it may have crashed once but i cant entirely remember.
I decided this game is awesome until i got to the cave area i encountered these odd black bars covering large portions of my screen, I guess it had to do with lighting filters or something but when i looked at a certain area it just lost picture in some areas. I think that is unrelated to my actual problem though, i got over it and it wasnt a huge deal I could just turn around and back around and they were gone.........
my side bar backgrounds is black and I cant change it back to aero has
anyone find a solution to this.
I tried searching the forums, but couldn't find a solution.I often work with two windows at once (i.e. firefox and excel) and have been trying to figure out how to dock them next to each other so I can work with them easier. I assume this is a simple fix, I just haven't been able to find it yet.
View 7 Replies View RelatedMy problem is this: I am running Windows Vista 64 bit on an ASUS laptop and, after some "experimenting" with binding EXE's on XP and moving them over to Vista, I started receiving the dreaded error message "This program has failed to start because it's side by side configuration is incorrect". Now, I'm no noob when it comes to computers. But I have tried everything I can think of to resolve this problem. THe most common solution I have found is to install the Visual C++ Redistributable, thing is. When I run the installation EXE, the same error appears. I have attempted running in safe mode, system restore, and all the usual options, and every thread with this same problem is often ignored, therefore I have not been able to find a solution.

1. I am using a DVD Shrink or AVS Cutter to get home movies and other content from dvd to computer.
2. The preview on DVD Shrink shows 4:3 Ratio. When extracting certain content it shows preview at 16:9
3. I play VOB file or mpeg file on media player at only 4:3
question is: How do I fix the aspect ratio on my system in order to edit videos at 16:9? I can not view 16:9 on any video I play, even directly from dvd player to view dvd's. Media player only shows 4:3 aspect Ratio?
You cannot find this trick on MS Help and support but may like it. You can toggle between 16:9 and 4:3 aspect ratio (normal and wide screen) in Windows Media Center the following way: Keep the Ctrl key pressed on your keyboard. Drag any edge (side and not the corner!) of the Media center window and move the mouse until the aspect ratio changes.

I think the side bar is great - nice feature BUT why does it keep
disappearing on my computer?
It is there on the desktop when I first switch on computer and then when I
open 3-4 windows and then click on the desk top icon and go back to
desktop - it has disappeared!
And yet if I minimize the windows and go back to desktop this way - there it
is!
If the window I am using is not full screen - I can see it - and yet if I
click on desk top to go back to desk top
When I bring up a news group, it runs out of control with the sidebar running all the way to the bottom. And I can't bring it back to the top. The only way I can do this is to unplug my USB plug which controls the mouse. Once I do that I can pull the sidebar back up to the top just perfectly, by using the mouse pad on the laptop. If I plug the usb plug back in (for the mouse) the sidebar crashes to the bottom of the screen. I am using a M1710 Dell Laptop. It works great but this problem of the sidebar running out of control while the usb mouse is in use, is a new one. At the same time the screen saver won't work either.

View 8 Replies View RelatedMy mother board is an abit IP35 Pro. And for speakers I have Creative Inspire P7800. Coming out of the sub are all the outputs for center, sub, left & right (front, side and rear). The output cords that came with the speakers don't fully match the input for the onboard sound card. I really don't want to spend $70+ on a sound card. Seems the onboad sound is rather descent. Sound I spend the $20-30 to get the cords that are missing. Seems that cords supplied with the speakers have 4 leads coming out of the sub and then they combine something into 3 leads going into the sound card. Now when I go to mess around with the sound within windows I can't get anything to be produced out of the side speakers.

View 9 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to reduce the size of the side bar gadgets as I find them to big for my laptop screen.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have only the sticky notes and the weather gadget running on my sidebar. Why does the side bar need to act as a server? I understand the side bar needing internet access to update the weather, but not why it would need to act as a server. I deny the request, which the side bar first asks for in the internet zone and when that is denied it requests to act as server in the trusted zone. I deny that also. The weather gadget still updates without the permission to act as server. The weather forecast is by Foreca but there is no other info or about that I can find on the gadget.

View 9 Replies View RelatedBack in the days I had time to be a Windows MVP, there were a lot of
questions I knew how to answer, but this wasn't one of them.
We have a Vista machine running Vista Ultimate. It is a Toshiba Tecra.
Within a few minutes of booting up, even in safe mode, the mouse pointer
drifts to one side, usually the right, and stays there. If you leave the
machine alone for a while, the issue goes away, but the moment a user starts
doing anything, the mouse becomes unusable in this way. I have tried exiting
all applications, and meticulously exiting every service whose function I
know is not a core Windows function, without avail. Windows Defender has not
found an issue.
i need a way to connect to my home computer from school but the firewall is restricting incoming connections from RDC so i cant get any feedback. I have admin access (dont ask) and have disabled the local firewall but it still blocks the connection so the firewall on the server must be blocking it. Is there software I could install like logmein which would let me do it but doesn't need a webpage to use (logmein.com) and doesn't get stopped by a firewall?
