I want to adjust my screen resolution to 1680 x 1080 (recommended for 17" Laptop). But the only option available is 1366 x 780. How do I get additional options?
I am using windows 7 professorial for my clients . Usually this PCs are connected to Tv Screen that play some media contents .this media needs to be run under 1920x1080 resolution .sometime we my customer turn off the TV , or unplug the cable it reset the resolution to default like 1280x720 Is there any way to "lock" the screen resolution at 1920 x 1080 and not leave this up to Windows?
i have just purchased an LG W2261Vits native resolution is 1920 x 1080when i connect my win 7 machine - using my vga cable on my toshiba satelite u300, using Mobile Inte965 Express Chipset i cannot get it to use 1920 x 1080the max resolution is 1680 x 1050list all modes does not show 1920 x 1080
Does anyone use there 1080p HDTV as a monitor? If so do you think that the font's, icon's and the rest of the display make things apear to small although you have more room on screen etc?.
I am building a new computer and I want to go with a dual screen setup. I was wondering if I should go with a GTX 670 2GB GPU or two Sapphire Radeon 7870s. If not specifically these cards, let me know what you think. Is it better to have a single GPU with dual DVI output or two slightly cheaper GPUs using crossfire?
I have a 42 inch Sharp LCD TV, and a Lenovo T500 laptop running windows 7 as my main OS. I use VGA to connect to my TV. Any attempt to display 1920 by 1080 on my TV results in my TV telling me to switch to 1600 by 1200 because the video mode is not supported. 1920 by 1080 works fine on windows XP, same machine, same TV.
Games would not run well at 1920 by 1080, so I've ignored it up till now (because I tried several times and cannot get it to work). I like 1920 by 1080 for writing code though. Any way to fix this?
video card:
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650
Switchable graphics is currently disabled.
Windows 7 version: release candidate (it's free) (32 bit, yay for unused RAM)
I have my laptops configured to shut down when I press the power button. Problem is it stops at a screen telling me that some programs are running and I have to click to "Force Shutdown" on these programs before it shuts down. Otherwise it just sits there like a jackass until the battery runs down--or forever if it is on AC power.
Is there a way to force this computer to shut down when the power button is pressed--without further user participation.
Primary: Samsung Syncmaster 19 Inch widesreen 1400 * 900 Secondary: LG E2541 25 Inch Widescreen 1980 * 1080 OS: Windows 7 64bit VideoCard: Nvidia Geforce 560 Ti
I use my primary mostly for browsing, msn, music players, Ventrilo etc etc,I want to use my secondary Monitor for gaming Watching Videos.However, when i want to use something Full screen on my secondary monitor it goes full screen on the primary monitor. I cant also run it in windowed mode and stretch it out to full screen, it does not allow me to do that, it goes back to the size of my primary Monitor.
Ps.I want this since i play mostly with fullscreen borderless or in windowed mode so i can still browse the internet or adjust music/ventrillo settings. I dont want to have an Taskbar below the game, so thats why i need it on the Second Monitor.
I'm trying to get the cycling background to extend onto both displays so i will have one continuous background rather than two identical ones. all my wallpapers are dualscreen, but windows is displaying them all smashed together on both displays. It worked one boot up, and im unable to make it reoccurring. I've checked what i think are all the menus, but i cant seem to find any option that changes that. im almost positive i can accomplish this without a third party app.
In vista.x64 it wans't possible to strech your screen over 2 monitor's and for example play games at resolutions nobody held for possible 3360*1050 or if you could pivot your screens 2100*1400!!!
as Im using windows 7 and the latest Windows 7 x64 drivers from ati (after installing all drivers in the latest history)
I lose my second screen(screen remains in sleep mode) after the sleep mode initiated . It seems to be a programming error in the driver...
I can get the second screen up by the following sequence simple logging out --->>
switch User ... logging back in ( it takes some time after loggging in though....
Is there a way to detect what sequence(command) is sent to the screen and if I could add that sequence in the loggin...
I've the impression service from ati is bad they've simular reports dating from the beggining of Vista and never bothered to change anyting (by the way never had such problems in XP).
I was planning on going dual screen and I wanted a nice graphics card for gaming and visual design (I use Photoshop and CAD). I am thinking about getting two ASUS VW246H 24" (Newegg.com - 24-236) and I was considering the Radeon Sapphire HD 7870 (Newegg.com - SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition OC 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card (11199-03-20G). Will I require two of these graphics cards? I was only planning on getting one.
-Try to set two screens, one is VGA other is HDMI(which is a TV)
-I cannot get the sound through TV when both are connected.
_I use windows 7 Pro, stsndsrt VGA video card, all driver updates were made
I am trying to set up two screens one on my normal screen other is my TV (samsung type no: UE40EH50000) via htmi. Actually both screen works kind of fine, when I directly connect both of them but I can not get the sound from the TV when I connect both of them. And I do not know how to set up dual monitor screen settings on Windows 7. On Screen Resolution computer sees only one screen.
I have just installed a dual monitor set-up on my PC. 1 connected with DVI and the other with HDMI. While using both screens 1 has a yellow tint (the right screen) but when I switch back to using just the single monitor (left screen) then that screen has the yellow tint?
i'm running a vaio vgn nr21s/s (nvidia 8400MGT) with a samsung syncmaster 226bw ( 22') connected by a vga connector and i cant have my max resolution (1680/1050@60htz) in Windows 7 x64
i tried a dozens of drivers, the new and the old ones (laptopvideo2go, dox moddified...) for Windows 7 x64 and for vista x64... and still the same problem, still stuck at 1600/1024
i thought it could be the vga connector but im running xp pro 32bits too and theres no problem with that i can get the right resolution.
After installing Windows 7, the MBR was corrupted and I had to reinstall... no problem with 7, but now I have two instances of Windows7 on the mbr screen at startup. the one that works and a non-working one under it. Again, not a real problem, but for the sake of neatness, can I remove this line from the screen? I am still dual booting with XP until I am confident that all my processes will work in 7, then I will want to remove the XP partition and bypass the screen to choose the OS.
Any place out there to get info on these things? Confession - the MBR was borked when I removed the IBM partition with XP utilities, etc and left the XP and 7 partitions, expanding 7 to use the space. Since I have Student download copy from DigitalRiver of 7 I don't have a disk to put in and repair. Disk is in the mail (right!) so a reinstall was the only fix I could come up with.
(Later) OK, I just read a little about a repair disk that I can make, now that I,m running again. Is this the right direction? Is there a fixmbr command?
I have a problem with WMAD or Windows Monitor Auto Detect, when I have a LCD monitor connected to my laptop, it second monitor will randomly stop displaying whatever I have on that side. Sometimes I Disconnect then Reconnect and display for Extension or repeat the connection process about 3 or 4 times before Windows 7 makes up its mind to either keep it disconnected or connected.
after installing windows 7 in the same partition in which the vista resides,when i restart i have this windows dual boot screen,but i no longer want my vista,how do i go about it?
and why is my Sleep option in the windows start menu greyed out? there is only Restart,Shut Down,Hibernate,Lock,Swith User options.everything except the Sleep. why

I recently got a projector from a friend and im trying to setup dual screen.
First of all im a bit confused by the Graphics Card itself. I looked for pictures of the card which my computer recognizes as a nVidia GeForce 8500 GT and none have a HDMI port but mine does. So i opened the case and the card has ATI and Foxconn written on it but nothing with nVidia on it.
I have a HDMI to VGA cable which im trying to use to go to my monitor but when i plug it in while switched on i get nothing on the monitor but the projector still works and if i plug it in then boot I get no output on my monitor and just just a black screen and the mouse pointer on my monitor.
I have 2 samsung22 monitors hooked up to a 8800gtx running on windows7 64bit. The problem I've had ever since going to windows7 is 1 monitor works, the other just black screen with power on. I've gone into nvidia control panel and also through windows and it shows both monitors present but I noticed one monitor is attached through an analog cable but both are hooked up with the dvi cables. Could my card have a bad port?
when I plug in monitor 2 in the r/s dvi port it shows the right side desktop portion of the extended view and when I switch to monitor 1 on the right side dvi port it shows the left side desktop view but nothing comes up when attached to the left side dvi port. I've taken a snap shot of my desktop and it shows both screens. I've tried older drivers as far back to 170's and nothing worked.
I running a dual monitor setup with an LCD monitor and a plasma tv. I want to be able to have screensavers run independently on each monitor, so if I'm doing something on the LCD, but not on the plasma, then the screensaver will start on the plasma but not the lcd. If the screensaver doesn't start then the plasma tv it will get an image burn in.
When win 7 open up, what I see on my single display is a desktop screen of a tipical secondary display that would be placed on the right of the main screen.
I go into desktop properties and I see that win7 detect and show 2 screens as if I had a dual screen setup. But I only have one 24" screen. I always need to ask win7 to "detect" the screens again, then it automaticly delete the second "non-existent" screen.
My setup is Dell Sudio XPS 9100 I7 930 5870 geforce 12go ram win7
i have dual monitors on a geforce 9800gtx+ with newest drivers from nvidia, and i have some weirdness when it comes to fullscreen videos, if i am playing a video in wmp or watching a Internet video in fullscreen on either monitor, when i click on the other monitor it come out of full screen on the monitor playing the video.

My dual screen has suddenly stopped working on my laptop. Now when I hit 'detect' my laptop screen goes black and I have to force restart the machine and disconnect the second laptop. Is this likely to be a hardware fault?
I have a dual boot system (Win7 &XP). I have had to recover the boot files for Win7 in the past. Now the boot screen shows a choice between 'earlier version of windows' and 'Windows 7 (recovered)'. how to remove the word 'recovered' from the Win 7 description?
