NVIDIA GTX 260 Screen Resolution Problem
Nov 13, 2009
I've recently installed (evenutally) Windows 7. I say eventually because I have been having big problems with my monitor going into sleep mode.
Basically when I installed windows 7 it would go into the starting windows screen and then after that the monitor would go to sleep and not let you click anything.
I then rebooted the computer and pressed F8 to go into safe mode. No joy, the installation could not be completed in safe mode. So i rebooted again and tried to go into the computer in 640x480 mode. Success!
I was then able to complete the installation of windows. I then went to increase the screen res to the recommended 1280x1024. The computer thought about it and then put my monitor into sleep mode and then 10 seconds later rebooted my computer, forcing my POST screen to say "Hyper Transport Flood Error, press F1 to continue", or something like that.
I then realised that I hadnt installd my video drivers, so i booted back into windows (640x480) and went to install my graphics drivers (NVIDIA GTX 260), half way through the installation my screen went black, into sleep mode and then rebooted my computer.
I then booted into safe mode, which i can now do because i have completed the installation, and installed my graphics drivers. After this i booted back into normal windows with 640x480, checked my graphics had installed, and they had, and then windows said they recommend i change my res to 1280x1024, i did this and guess what... my pc rebooted!
I then rebooted again (640x480) and tried my graphics at 1024x768. Joy! it worked, i rebooted windows and let it go straight ahead without me pressing anything and it works fine!
The only problem is, how do I get a higher screen res than 1024x768?
I have the latest NVidia Graphics drivers and it worked fine in Vista and XP.

After installing windows 7 and all drivers for my Samsung t220 screen and Nvdia GeForce 9800 GT, neither windows 7 nor Nvidia reconognize 1680x1050 resolution. Maximum resolution permitted is1280x1024, very deficient. Had no problem with XP and analog cable). I have tried powerstrip and created a personal driver with a 1680x1050 resolution, but with the same negative results. Buying "just" another screen is no option! Samsung doesn't provide specific drivers for windows 7.

After fitting a Nvidia NVS 295 card into my new Advent computer (Foxconn mobo, i5, 8GB RAM) my DELL ULTRASHARP U2711 will not display at its maximum 2560 x1400 res. I can only get 1920. In fact 1920 is the highest selectable in the Nvidia control panel. I let the Nvidia installer set up everything without removing the onboard AVG driver first - I assume it did this automatically? I am using the DVI cable that came with the Dell. What am I doing wrong? I have used the latest Windows7 64bit driver download from Nvidia website.

I have an Nvidia GeForce FX 5200 Video card with 256 MB of RAM.
The card seems to work quite well with Windows 7, except that the highest resolution I can get with the present driver is 1280 x 1024, but this naturally stretches the screen. I can set it to a nice 1280 x 800 which looks pretty good on my 19" monitor.
However, I would like to get a resolution of 1440 x 900 for my 19" monitor but this options is not available. Do I perhaps have the wrong driver? I am presently using the one I downloaded with Windows 7 in the Device Manager. The driver version is 9.6.8.5 and is dated 10/9/2006.
It is not on this list on the Nvidia site
http://www.nvidia.com/object/io_1241025430517.html
Will windows perhaps be updating this driver for this card? Is there something I am not getting here?
Also, I do not know if this card is going to get more support from Windows.
Supposedly this driver will work for windows 7 but I have been unable to successfully install it.
http://www.nvidia.com/object/winvista_x86_96.85_2.html
Any help in this area for this card would be nice. I really like Windows 7.

for the past month i have had an issue where before the log in screen would show, it would be a blank screen with a cursor, that i could move. (It worked normal in safe mode) I normally would just ignore this problem and it seemed to go back to normal after a little while. Well yesterday it didn't go away, so i went online looking for a solution, in safe mode. I've read to disable/enable drivers, re-install drivers, just plenty of things. And the result of all this is that my screen resolution wont go back to normal, and there is a black border around my screen, around a half inch. Also, my computer has been running EXTREME slow lately.

I have recently been running my computer for really long periods and have only just turned it off last night.When I turned it on this morning it did a file corrupt scan which sometimes randomly happens. When windows fully loaded the screen resolution had been changed, almost to safe mode resolution.
So iI have tried changing the resolution (Normal is 1920x1080), with no luck. Even though it says it is on 1920x1080 (recommmended), I know for a fact that it's not actually that resolution.You can tell by this photo that the desktop is way to large for 1920x1080. Unfortunetly I do not have a photo of my original desktop resolution .I have installed the latest NVIDIA graphics driver, and it is the right driver for my card. Also checked all windows updates.
Specs:
Graphics Card - GTX 460
Monitor - BenQ G2420HD

I have just purchased a 9600GT which is capable of a resolution of 2560x1600 but my monitor is only stated to be 1680-1050, My question is this, would it do my monitor any damage to force upon it the said 2560-1600?
Edit: It is an acer 22" and not one in specs.

i have used to connect to my pc (vista x64 Radeon 4670) through vnc that is connected to a fullhd tv via hdmi. When i shut down the tv nothing happened to the screen resolution when connected through vnc but now with Windows 7 x64.
when i turn off the tv the resolution changes to some lower and i cant use the whole 1920x1080 and after turning the tv on again it resizes to the full resolution but with icons on desktop without any order! Is there any way to Windows 7 not automatic change resolution when turning off the tv like in vista?

I have tried everything to keep the screen resolution at it's max but to no avail. When I change pages the screen reduces to a small size. After repeated attempts to keep the screen size to it's fullest the size changes back to small. Yes, I had done everything that the help section said to do and hit the apply button and keep changes. It only stays for a one page then reverts back to the small screen.

i recently upgraded my OS from winxp sp3 to win7 pro. Before the upgrade my native screen resolution is 1360x768 and after the upgrade, it has changed to 1900x1080, i dont like the change although it gives me bigger space on my desktop, but it seems everything on my screen are smaller than before. I always design in photoshop and when i make banners, its really small i dont see the details. I tried to change the resolution back to 1360x768 but when i do, its not that sharp, kinda blurry.

My OS is Windows 7 32-bit. I'm using 2 monitors. The first one is from my laptop, Thinkpad T400 which has a resolution of 1440 x 900 pixels. The second one is a 18.5-inch LCD (G900HD from BENQ), which has a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels.
I need to use both of them at the same time (to view more windows simultaneously). We all know that this is possible if we choose the right option in "Control PanelAppearance and PersonalizationDisplayScreen Resolution".
My problem is that I cannot choose the right setting for my second resolution, because its native resolution (1366 x 768) does not appear in the suggested list, as you can see from the below picture:
As a result, text and images displayed in my second monitor seem to be blurry. So my question is how to set my second monitor's resolution back to its original state?

I have installed Team Fortress 2 and Combat Arms EU on to my Asus F7Se laptop with the Radeon HD 3400 series graphics card and when ever I run either game the screen resolution goes all screwy! It is like when you are watching a 4:3 TV program on a 16:9 TV.
All of my settings are correct within Windows and the game. I have noticed that when I start a game there is a message that windows is changing the theme back to basic (or something like that).

So I just downloaded Windows 7 and the screen is not showing up full size on my laptop. I went to the control panel and went to the screen resoltution thing and it is set on the largest setting; 1034 x 768, and only has two options which are 1024 x 768 and 800 x 600 on the slider. Any one know how to make it full screen?
Also on the sound thing on the taskar it has a red x and says no audio output device. Anyone know where I can download one?

Sometimes when UAC pops up my screen resolution changes from the native 1680x1050 resolution to 1024x768. There doesn't seem to be any reason for the change. Is anybody else having this problem or is it just me?

32-bit programs installed and launched in Windows 7 64-bit have LOWER
resolution than the same program installed and launched in Virtual XP Mode.
In the attached example, The left Chrome was opened in 64-bit, the right
in XP Mode. The resolution on the right is visibly greater.

I still use an old CRT 19" monitor (Philips 109p4). It displays best, sharpest picture at 1152x864.
But Windows 7 "thinks" and persists that my Philips should be fed with 1600x1200 image (it calls it "Recommended resolution") . But it's too much for my monitor - and the picture quality suffers (everything gets a bit blurry).
What's the problem, one could ask, simply go to the display settings and set the screen resolution to 1152x864. And here's where the tricky part begins! Windows 7 only pretends to let me set lower resolution!
The desktop size changes to 1152x864, but the nVidia graphic card still generates 1600x1200 image (which is confirmed by OSD function in my monitor). Thus the smaller desktop gets smoothly (with some kind of antialiasing or rather bilienear texture filtering) magnified (projected) to fit the big phisycal 1600x1200. Result - lack of sharpness.
I can understand that this trick may be usefull for some kind of users with some type of LCD displays. But in my case - CRT - this sucks big time!
How to make Windows 7 *RELLY* set the resolution to a lower one?

So today, (9/9/2011) I noticed my Catalyst Control Center had an update from my version 6 to version 8. So I clicked install and all of a sudden my screen resolution get messed up. Now when I switch to my default resolution 1920x1080, my taskbar gets covered 80%. Now I'm using 1680x1050; my taskbar isn't covered now but when I start up the browser, I can't see the scroll bar on the right and the top part is covered a little now.

I am confused by the screen resolution of my Windows 7 Media Centre PC. I'm running Win 7 Pro with a 16:9 widescreen monitor which claims to have a native resolution of 1366 x 768. I've never been able to set that in Windows or the video driver.7MC has the monitor set to 1024 x 768 (4:3) but nevertheless shows a fullscreen image with a 16:9 aspect ratio and works perfectly. When I first installed Win 7 the desktop was also set to 1024 x 768 but the image was stretched horizontally so that it filled the widescreen but was horribly distorted.I discovered that setting the Windows desktop to 1148 x 648 (16:9) almost fills the whole display, just leaving thin black lines on either side and filling it vertically. As this is the correct aspect ratio I was happy to live with the slight reduction in size. 7MC is unaffected and continues using the whole screen at, presumably, some secret alternative to 1024 x 768.Since the 648 vertical resolution is being stretched to 768 to occupy the full height of the monitor I presume the 1148 horizontal resolution is being stretched by the same factor. This would make the horizontal resolution 1361, very close to the 1366 x 768 the monitor wants.
I took screenshots of both the MCE screen and the Windows desktop, expecting that the image dimensions would be related to one of the preceding resolutions. However, they are both 1952 x 648, with the actual screen image in the left hand 1148 x 648 area and an empty desktop section to the right. This makes no sense to me whatsoever. Somewhere and somehow there's a lot of rescaling or cropping of the monitor image and I'd love to know what's going on. I need to know this because I'm trying to set TunerfreeMCE up and want to tell it the screen coordinates of various buttons on a flash catchup service for a particular channel so it can trigger play etc. I just don't know which coordinate set to use!The display adapter is a Radeon 9600...did I mention this was old? I had exactly the same problems with Vista previously, have just upgraded and would like finally to get it right.

i moved into a new house last week and when i turned on my pc i noticed how there was a 3/4 inch black gap between where the screen displayed colour and the end of the screen. I have installed the newest graphics drivers on my sapphire radeon 4850HD but it doesn't seem to change.. There are no new important windows updates, which i thought it would've fixed it in the first place. anyone have any idea?

I have Asus Eee 1015PX netbook. It has 10 inch.
Well, Windows 7 starter came pre-installed. One fine day, I was trying Linux and accidentally deleted my Windows. Hidden partition was also deleted. So I downloaded Windows from Microsoft site and deleted the ef.cgi file so as to get all the Windows install option when I start thr install from USB. Everything is fine but the screen resolution is wrong.
My screen resolution is 1024X600 but in the Windows setting it is 800X600. I can't increase it. It's just set to 800X600.
Also drivers are not installed. I have to install them.

I have installed Windows 7 beta. Previously I was using Windows Vista Ultimate. The Graphics is an AMD X1200 and is plugged in to a LG plasma screen using the hdmi interface. When the installation of windows 7 reboots the resolution automatically sets itself to 1960 x 1080 hd resolution although my screen doesn't seem to handle the resolution. It is meant to be able to take a 1080p input and scale it to 720p but in this case i get a blank screen with 'out of range' displayed.
Previously I had the resolution set to 1360 x 768 on Vista. I can plug in a second monitor which extends the desktop to it and then I can change the resolution in the settings for the TV to 1360 X 768 and the TV displays fine, but it seems to store these settings as a multi monitor profile and as soon as the second monitor is removed the single screen reverts to the 1080p resolution.
I also searched through the registry for xresolution and changed any references to 1960 X 1080 to 1360 X 768 but it still set a 1080 resolution on reboot. These settings must be stored somewhere so if anyone knows how i can change them with another monitor plugged in that would be great then i change back to my TV and it will load with a 1360 X 768 resolution.

I was using my computer when my mother accidentally hit the room switch which turns my entire rig off. I turn my computer back on and now my screen resolution is all messed up. On top of that I can't open Chrome due to misplaced files. I reinstalled all my drivers but instead of detecting the name of my monitor, it just shows Generic PnP Monitor instead.I pick the best screen res(1600 x 1200) but that is clearly wrong(but the best i can do). I've done a system restore and reinstalled all my drivers. I looked for the Acer X223W drivers but all I got was a security catalog, setup information, and an ICC profile that doesn't do anything when I run it. I searched for driver updates on device manager but it says the Generic PnP monitor driver is up to date.

I have my screen resolution set to 1920x1080 and it is the right size for me. It keeps changing on me. I right click on my desktop and then click that i want to keep it at this point but it still changes to 800x 600. I took my computer in to get fixed but they couldn't so they put a new hard drive in it free if that makes any difference. I have windows 7. I have internet 8.
