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?

View 6 Replies View RelatedThe 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?

View 6 Replies View RelatedMy 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................
Taskbar 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....
My problem is how to adjust the contrast in vista home by the way the brightness is fine and working..

View 8 Replies View RelatedI 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.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI 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. 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.
View 9 Replies View Relatedthe 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.

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?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'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.

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.
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
View 6 Replies View Relatedwhat Vista (and XP for that matter) uses for name resolution when on a small p2p workgroup?

View 8 Replies View RelatedAbout 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.
