Windows 7 Nor NVidia Recognizing 1680x1050 Resolution
Jan 26, 2012
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.
westinghouse lcm 22w3 monitor my native resolution worked fine on my old comp. got a new comp, with windows 7 64bit. and wont display my native resolution. pretty much all resolutions except mine...and some very close to the correct one. only goes up to 1600x1200 (what im using right now)
how do i get the right resolution? i have an ati radeon hd 4250 integrated graphics card.
its bugging me SOOO bad how im so close to the right resolution, but everything is off ever so slightly. the person i bought the computer from was telling me how i might get the correct resolution if i switch from my current vga cable, to a dvi cable. he said id get my native resolution, and it'd look better.
if there are any drivers i do need to update.. i dont know what ones they are, or where to get them. im used to having xp..this is my first night of having windows 7, and im unfamiliar with every single this on this computer.. so bare with me.
edit: id like to add that after i right click and go to screen resolution, and click update driver, it says its up to date. also, the "display" is being read as "generic non pnp monitor" which is odd, because my monitor IS a pnp.
I have Windows 7 highest screen resolution is 1680x1050 but in display settings is only4options800x6001024x7681280x10242048x1536o find 1680x1050 screen resolution back to original, I had it like this before and it suddenly change.
what a big ass step up in performance going from vista 32 bit to 7 64 bit, wow!
So anyway ive managed to get everthing else working on my computer but am having a problem setting the native resolution of my LG Flatron L204WS monitor. I've had a search in this part of the forums and couldnt find anyone with a similar problem so i hope im not posting another unecessary post!
Graphic card: 8800 GTX
Driver version: Windows update, the newest Nvidia Drivers for windows 7
Monitor cable: VGA, as this is all it supports
The problem: When trying to set the native resolution of my monitor to 1680x1050 im getting the message from my monitor that it is out of range, i think the setting for refresh rate is at 59hz and wont change to 60. I have located some LG drivers for the monitor and installed those and now windows recognizes my monitor in the advanced settings but not in the direct window of screen resolution. Could this be why? Or could it be related to the fact that the resolution atm 1400x1050 works with 59Hz but 1680x1050 does not work with 59Hz?
Ive seen a few other posts with people stuck on 59 and not being able to change to 60 but there has been no real solution found as of yet. I think i have listed all the relevant information needed for a bit of troubleshooting only if you were so kind to have a look and have a ponder
O yes there was one other very strange oddity, when i run a game such as Team Fortress 2, i can set my resolution to 1680x1050 and it runs fine, how very odd! Thats where this problem stumps me even more!
Asus VE228T that I use as the main display on my left (and my laptop screen works as the secondary screen on the right). The resolution is 1920 x 1080, wasn't displaying anything and I went to the Screen Resolution properties and tried doing what I've always done if the screen hasn't been on, choosing "extend these displays", didn't work right as the laptop screen remained as the main one (usually the Asus has switched as the main display by itself) and the Asus did turn on BUT with my laptop's resolution.
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 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.
banging my head with this issue...i have an ati radeon hd 5850 and samsung syncmaster 2233SW monitor....in the games the resolution being displayed is very low, somewhere in the 1280 x 1024 type of regions...though in the game settings its showing 1920 x 1080 .rivers are latest...11.12 amd vision engine control centerbtw my desktop resolution iv put at 1280 x 800 ...wen i put it at 1920 x 1080 in the desktop d sides of the screen get cut...evn my monitors auto adjustment function doesn
I got motherboard: Asus m2n-mx se plus. Video Card : nVIDIA nForce 6150SE (6100-430), Onboard Audio : nVIDIA MCP61 , D-Link DFE-520TX PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter .
My Motherboard comes with Vista drivers, but I heard that even that are creating problems for video and audio. Should I download any specific drivers beforehand?
I have Dell Optiplex GX260 system. I intalled Windows 7 Ultimate on that. The resolution of screen is fine but it is not supporting 1280 x 1024 resolution and videos are not playing properly. It was not taking audio drivers as well but when I ran the SoundMax drivers for XP in compatibility mode they were installed. But display drivers are not getting installed. I even tried the various driver from Nvidia for XP/Vista/Win 7, but none of them works.
I have done a fresh install of Win 7 64bit on my new SSD 160GB,i plugged in my other two now spare HHD.500GB seagate and a 160GB seagate,they were picked up in the bios,but when windows restarted in the install,it would not boot up,after a bit of tweeking if i unplugged one of the drives it booted up and continued to finish the install,there was only the two drives showing,i restarted the PC,plugged in the HDD again,the same problem,the Motherboard is a ASUS P8H67-mPro,it has 6 sata ports 2 at 6g and 4 at 3g,the bios is up to date,I have tried to contact ASUS but they have not replied a week ago,I just wanted to no if this motherboard can run 3 HDD without RAID or am i wasting my time
I am running Win 7 on a Intel Core I7 920 processor. My motherboard is a Gigabyte EX58-UD3R FE motherboard. My RAM is (4) G Skill F3-16000CL9-2GBRH 2G sticks of DDR3 RAM. It says the type is PC3-10700H. When I check my system settings in windows, it says I have 8 GB installed but only 6 GB usuable. Is there any way to make it so that all of it is usable
I'm new to this site so hopefully i don't do anything wrong!! I consider myself fairly smart with computers but my laptop has gone beyond my brain At first it would just reboot itself after being on it for a little bit, I tried downloading an antivirus (avast) and it all went downhill!! Now it doesn't even recognize the windows 7, gives me a black screen telling me error and to put in disc, which I've never had one, and says: FILE CI.DLL STATUS:0XC00000E9 I cannot get it to go any farther than there,is there anyone that might be able to help?
I've been searching the forums for a solution to this and I don't know what to do: [code] so according to the MOBO spec, I could have 8Gb ram.I bought 2x 4GB Corsair memory.I have made sure that the memory chips are seated correctly BIOS detects that there is 8GB of RAM installed here is the system report on the RAM: Installed Physical Memory (RAM)8.00 GB Total Physical Memory3.93 GB Available Physical Memory2.22 GB basically my system is detecting but not using one of the RAM chips.I don't have a setting in BIOS to map memory.I can't get to the motherboard to adjust any jumper/ voltage settings CPU-Z shows both chips installed and working.I am running windows 64bit been into MSCONFIG and maximum memory is unchecked and this is where all my efforts have now run out. so I don't get it. 8Gb installed, 4Gb available?
i decided to upgrade my laptop from 3gb ddr3 of ram to 8 gb ddr3 , now i faced an odd problem where i got to realize that despite windows recognizing all 8 gbs of ram in system information (msinfo32) under "Installed Physical Memory" i realized that both system information and task manager shows "Total Physical Memory" to be 2.93 gb , i searched the forum throughly up till i came across this thread : Memory - Set Maximum Amount Used by Windows 7 now i got to realize that 32 bit windows can only handle 4gb of ram . now trying to sort my options i have a few questions i need to be adressed :
1 - is it smooth to upgrade from 32bit to 64bit of windows , i have heaps of programs installed over years that i cant risk to lose nor have the time to reinstall if i took the fresh installation option :/ if possible then how ? any specific tool or windows version ?
2 - any known porting , utilities or hacks that were made to make 32bit os recognize all 8gb ram ?
3 - if non of the above were valid , if i am to work with only 4 gb , why does my system read only 2.93 gb of which ? i can notice it sums up all spare 5 gb as "Hardware Reserved" . i investigated to see if the extra 1 gb is reserved by graphics card but only to find that my graphics card is only up to 750 mb of shared memory and those already are shared from "Total Physical Memory" and not hardware reserve , why i have access to only 3 of the 4 gbs of rams i'm allowed ?
i have win xp machine and nvidia 9800gt 1gb card. I bought windows 7 ultimate 64bit yesterday. And do clean install of windows 7.Then download and install nvidia driver, i see my gpu dedicated memory only 128mb!. I tried change driver, no difference. Why my pc recognizing only 128mb of gpu memory? And how to use full gpu memory? Any solution? My system: intel core 2 duo e4500 3ghz, 4gb ddr3 memory, 200gb ata hard disk, 500w thermaltake psu, intel q41 mobo, nvidia geforce 9800gt
I've recently unistalled my display drivers (because I was going to update them), and after the reboot, my USB devices (keyboard/mouse) will not work at the Windows logon screen. I've been reading this is a known issue.
Here is where my problem is, I can't do a system restore because I don't have it setup, and I really won't/can't format. (stupidly only have 1 partition with lots of valuable data on it)
I'm really just interested in manually installing the USB controller device that my display drivers somehow uninstalled. (I think it's related to the chipset).
I have access to the cmd prompt in a weird repair mode that I've been able to access, that does have keyboard and mouse support. So I'm just interested in getting Windows to recognize the keyboard/mouse at the Login screen so I can actually access windows.
EDIT: The USB mouse/keyboard will work for BIOS, but the second the windows loading screen loads, the sensor for my mouse and the light on my keyboard turn off, and is not recognized until I go back pre-windows load. If I can just get past the logon screen, windows would do it's "new hardware recognized" thing. But I am stuck at the logon screen.
EDIT2: I'm running a AMD 785G chipset. I uninstalled Catalyst 12.3 to upgrade to the latest. on an AMD HD6950.
I am on the administrator account and have full rights, but can't delete ANY files. My laptop was working fine and then just crashed one day (For 6 years). Now I can log on and access all accounts and all files but cannot delete files or connect to the internet. I have read through and tried suggestions from other posts and nothing is working.
My old computer died, Sony Vaio Running Windows XP. I had been using a 100GB sata eternal drive for backup. Bought new computer, Gateway DX4860/6gigs ram running Windows 7 Home Premium, plugged external hard drive in and nothing happened. New machine does not recognize the external hard drive.
I am having quite some trouble to install windows 7 on my new SSD drive. When I reboot without the old HDD the windows cd doesn't start up. So I tried to run the CD while under windows on the old HDD, which did work, but now I only have 8gig install on the SSD and its only a boot drive not a system one. Could it be that my motherboard is to old? I did have some issues to run the SSD alone, bios didn't recognise it quite often.
CPU - Core Duo E6500 Motherboard - Asus P5VD2-VM RAM - 2 gig old HDD - Samsung IDE 250 gig ( about 10y old ) new HDD - SSD Onyx 32gig + Samsung 1T both SATA
I just installed Windows 7 build 7068. 64bit.I have an Asus P5WD2E-Premium mobo, and 5 Western Digital Hard drives of various sizes, all SATA.Windows recognizes only 2 of the drives, the c drive of course, and only 1 of two WD 400gig hds, which are identical.I know this may be a mobo issue, but, wasn't sure about Windows 7.
just updated to WIn7 64bit on my HP EliteBook 8730w laptop, and it's only recognizing 2GB of the 4 I have. Tried updating the BIOS and that didn't solve anything.
I have built a new system with a 60GB SSD to install the OS on and a 2TB hard drive for everything else. The 2TB drive can be seen in the BIOS but cant be accessed from windows.
I've been running windows 7 pro 64 bit for just under a year now. Couple days ago the computer was on just sitting idle while i was around the house, then i noticed this message pop-up the windows firewall was not active and if i wanted to activate it, ever since then i have not been able to get the computer to recognize any sort of internet connection. Im on a wired connection to a wireless router (D-Link Xtreme-N Dual Band Gigbit), all other computers connected to the router work fine.there is a red cross in the little network icon in the taskbar. If I click that icon, it says �No connections available�If I click troubleshoot, it says �Problems found - There might be a problem with the driver for the local area connection adapter�If I look in the device manager, there IS an entry for �Network Adapters�, in fact there are two:
1) Realtek PCIe GBE family controller (which i recognize as the one from my motherboard Asus P7P55D-E Pro
2) WAN Miniport (PPPOE) [i have no idea where this comes from, but it has a yellow exclamation sign above it]
I have uninstalled 1) from the device manager and let windows re-install it on reboot, i tried installing drivers from the CD the mobo came with, i tried going on another computer and getting updated drivers from the Realtek website, none of them worked. if i try to uninstall the WAN miniport it does not disappear?If I look in BIOS the contorller is there and ON. Reboot, swapping ethernet cables, restarting router, scanning for viruses/malware with MSE, Webroot Complete, Malwarebytes finds nothing.If I rollback to an earlier restore point, it doesn�t help.The only thing i can remember that happened before the loss of connection was an update to TuneUp Utilities 2012 and Webroot Secure Anywhere 2012, both of which i've since uninstalled to see if it was one of those, but still nothing. Also completely disabling Windows Firewall doesn't help either.
Okay so I just install windows 7 32bit(clean install, not upgrade) and it's not recognizing my graphics card. All it says is "Standard VGA adapter".
I've tried installing drivers but it never works and I also tried uninstalling the standard vga adapter via device manager too but it reinstalled itself. Btw my graphics card is a ATI Radeon xpress 200.
Way back when windows 7 was in beta and i was a beta tester everything worked fine.
Earlier today I uninstalled a small utility off of the system disc ("C" ) and immediately my Windows 7 system would no longer recognize my other two internal HDD's. Upon a restart, Windows again sees that there are drives there but has issues. At first I thought none of the programs would run, but upon starting Starcraft 2, I watched the sc2.exe file in take manager tick up the megs resident in memory. It took about 7 minutes before reaching 100 megs in memory then the screen went black as if the game was about to start up. At this point I'm watching on my second monitor (w/ task manager) the program loaded a full 125megs before slowing down.
I was never able to get it to start up and it does this every time. The same is true for any other program installed on that drive. I can browse it just fine and everything is where it should be -- I've tried running the .exe from the directory itself with the same result.I'm no Guru, but I'm fairly good with computers and have never seen anything even remotely close to this. I don't know if the uninstall is related, but it seems likely as it was right as that finished.
i have formatted my hard drive after it was full of bugs/virus. now when i try and boot my laptop Aspire 5532, windows 7 x64 premium, it states on start up with hdd in the machine please insert windows disk to recover system. how ever when i do this with my hdd in my machine windows does not boot from dvd/cd, but when i remove my hard drive windows 7 starts the install process, which is good, untill i have to select drive to install windows to (now i insert hdd and refresh) which populates and allows me to select drive. but then along the bottom loine states "setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition. see setup llog files for more info". Also when i click show details staes "windows cannot be installed to the disk, This Computer's hardware may not support booting to this disk. Ensure that the disl's controller is enabled in the computer bios menu, this is really doing my head in im not by anymeans that great with this stuff and any help would be good HDD is WD1600bevt-22zct0 (scorpio blue)
