Windows 7 Sizes Are Always Auto-shrinked After Monitor Off+on?
Jan 15, 2012
I have a Samsung TFT monitor with resolution 1920x1080 which is connected by HDMI cable.Assume I open a couple of windows (IntExp, WinExplorer, notepad,...).Now (e.g.late in the evening) I turn off manually physically (only) the TFT monitor to save power but let the computer continue run over night to perform some computations.When I return back in the morning and turn on the TFT monitor all previously opened Win7 windows are shrinked/resized and re-positioned into the upper left corner with an approx. size of 800x600.Presumably Win7 gets a signal which let it fall back to some VGA 800x600 mode and reduces

I had ALL space used up on my C drvice, but when I looked at the folders they only added up to less than 15 percent of the total partition size. The folder sizes did not reflect the sizes of files within.

i had last year Icons sizes change back to details sizes on specific folder
may also be relate to the issue that this user had Shortcut icons re-sizing randomly My OS had gone crazy and change icon's sizes back to details sizes in random folders, last time i had that issue i thought it was solved by this method Icons sizes change back to details sizes on specific folder
But unfortunately it only was temporary, i had to format anyway so the problem was solved after the format and never appeared again till 3 days ago.
it not seem to be a virus but it really annoy, the only thing i done 3 days ago that was extraordinary for me was to edit some video on windows live movie maker + cccp codecs, i rarely use WLMM but happened to use it 3 days ago, and after that the issue reappear, i can't use system restore since i done alot of stuff on my pc and don't want to lose them, and also i don't happened to made restore point before the day the issue occurred and the rest are deleted..so SR is not a option.

I just bought the Laptop with Windows Vista Business, but I upgraded to Windows 7 ultimate.Then I partitioned the 250G hard drive to install another OS on the new Partition. I used System Management to shrink 80G from the 222G available, but I have not installed anything on the new partition before the Windows 7 had problem, so I had to use HP system recovery to restore the PC back to factory default. After restoring, I installed windows 7 again and it worked properly. I later wanted to shrink 80G again as I did before, but I couldn't. Though the Hard Disk properties showed that the Disk is 222G, I could not shrink more than 9G, despite having more than 100G free space.It seems as if the system did cot recover the Hard drive to its original state. Please someone help me out. I need to partition/shrink up to 80G from the 115G remaining, but the system is giving me only 9G plus available to shrink/partition.

When I plug in or unplug my external display to my laptop, my display options no longer automatically reconfigure as they used to do. Now if I unplug the monitor, Windows acts as if it's still there, and windows that were on the monitor stay offscreen (as does the cursor, if that's where it was). I can manually move the cursor back, right-click load graphics properties and make changes OR do an F-key combo to move everything back on the laptop screen OR program a hotkey but these are all pretty annoying for one reason or another. Unfortunately this must have started happening sometime in the last two weeks--at the same time as I made a load of major computer changes.
However this did NOT include a graphics driver change (my graphics driver is current). At this point I feel it could be anything, but I'm wondering if it could be a recent BIOS update I did that HP recommended. By way of troubleshooting I did run Windows in safe mode with ONLY the "ATI Catalyst" and "AMD External Events utility" running on top of the basic services, in case a newly installed service was stealing hotplugging messages, but that didn't do anything. I've also gone exhaustively through my graphics driver settings to make sure everything there looks correct.

I am wondering if the install size of win 7 on a new build varies greatly based on what version you use? For instance (without any tweaking of modification) Is the install of Professional a lot larger than home premium and enterprise a lot larger than professional? Does anyone know the baseline install sizes for the different versions. I'm mainly wondering about Home Premium, Professional, Enterprise and Ultimate and the space requirement variations between each.

My new Samsung laptop with Windows 7 is asking me what proportion of my HD I want as c and d. It is 232GB in total and the d drive has to be minimum 40GB.... I have no idea what sizes to make them as have never come across partitions before. It says I can't change the sizes once I have set them (although I gather from reading other forums that this may be possible with other software).

I have a Toshiba 26C100U1 26" LCD TV/monitor with the ATI Radeon HD4300/4500 Driver. The Device Mgr shows the monitor as Generic PnP Monitor. My computer is a HP Pavilion, running Win7 64-bit. I have just hooked them up using an HDMI cable, which apparently gives much higher resolution than the VGA cable I was using previously. Screen settings are now 1920 x 1080. I seem to have gotten a lot of the resulting problems fixed, but the font sizes vary enormously from one screen to another. F'rinstance, Google screens come up with huge font sizes, while other screens, such as email, are almost too small to read! I do have the resolution set to 150%, as some screens would be illegible otherwise

This is a problem that, according to a lot of technicians including Microsoft, can't exist.
----- This is my computer -----
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400
6 gig RAM
Win 7 Ultimate 64-bit
----- This is my problem -----
My old harddisk (a 1 TB Seagate) went belly up, and I installed the system and all of my software on a brand new 1 TB Seagate harddrive, identical to the dead one. After some time I discovered a curiosity: the harddrive has two different sizes at the same time.
I've never had any problems and therefore I'm still using it, but I want to know if it is possible to correct the problem without having to start from the beginning, wiping and installing everything from scratch.
As you can the in the picture:
(1). The system (including bios) correctly identifies the harddisk as a harddrive with 931,51 GB. There are two partitions: the Win7 reserved 100 MB and the rest 931,41 GB is a single partition. Therefore everything looks correct where I've marked the picture with the number 1.
(2). Above, by my number 2 marking, the two partitions are shown. The system reserved one and the C-partitions which is... 482,88 GB. It's supposed to be 931,41 GB. I have no no clue how or when this happened, or what to do about it.
* Checked for an upgraded bios but here were none.
* Change the size of the partition, but the system wont allow that. The system says I can shrink it by 4 GB, but when I try that (trying to force a "recount" of the disk space) the system doesn't allow it.
* Defragging and make a disc check (done when the system starts), both make without errors but no change in partition size.
* Repaired/made a new MBR. No change.

I am using RC1 on an HP Mini 2140 PC with 1024x576 resolution. I just can't work out how to set the projector and screen resolutions to different values. Projector resolution is 1024x768. If I use the "duplicate screen" setting, it insists on using the 1024x576 for the projector as well. The only thing I have been able to do is to have only monitor 2 turned on, and have the correct projector resolution but nothing on the PC screen.
That defeats the effort. I want to use the PowerPoint feature that allows presenters to see speakers notes on the PC, but they are not on the projector. Second best would be to have 1024x768 on the PC screen as well, even though I would have to scroll down to see it.
Ideas?

So I switched TVs recently and decided to use my old LCD tv as a second monitor for my PC, as I thought it would be useful.
The TV is larger than the monitor, but has a smaller resolution. When I try to align the monitors in the resolution settings I can't seem to find anything that will let me say, "This screen has a smaller resolution, but is much larger. Adjust the mouse position according to real life, not resolution."
I don't really want to kill the resolution on the smaller monitor.

I have a dual monitor setup. After making some changes to the orientation/positioning of the 2 monitors, I've noticed that a lot of windows are now partially or even completely offscreen. This is especially problematic with MDI programs (programs that have sub-windows inside them, like Photoshop's dialog boxes and palette panes), as there's no way to interact with the offscreen inner windows and bring them back onscreen.
How can I reset absolutely all window positions of every single program? The registry modifications at Folder View Settings - Reset All to Default fixed Windows Explorer and a tiny handful of other programs, but not even WMP and Notepad were fixed.

I'm guessing when you run a program for the first time it figures out what resolution you are using and centers and sizes it accordingly. My window sizes and positions are a mess and I was wondering if there is a way to reset the windows so the next time I open the program they look as if I opened them for the first time. I'm talking about every window that pops up on the computer. Is there a way to do such a thing? Hope that all made sense

So my laptop monitor is 1366*768 and my TV is 1920*1080. When I use the laptop screen alone, the wallpaper is stretched to the size of the laptop screen, but when I hook up the TV monitor and use the "Extend These Displays" function, the wallpaper on the TV is the same size as it is on the laptop (ie. it doesn't fill out the screen), but all of the black space around the wallpaper is still usable. How can I make it so that the wallpaper fills out both the laptop and TV screens with the Extended Display mode?

I bought a Asus U36J laptop back in April of last year and ever since then I have been beating around an issue that I dont seem to be able to resolve one way or the other. When ever the laptop is on battery and in battery saving mode it has my taskbar on autohide. If I turn that off, then it stays off right until it is put back into battery saving mode at which point it is "magically" ticked on again.
Is there no way to simply disable that feature, as its annoying me greatly. I know its tied into the battery saving desktop, and I want to keep the battery saving desktop but want a full taskbar all the time. I found a supposed fix to make that happen, and while it actually makes the taskbar appear all the time, it still is a bad hack as any windows I have open wont "attach" to the taskbar but attaches to the buttom of the screen.
So for the love of god is there no sane way for me to keep the battery saving desktop but get rid of the autohiding taskbar. Otherwise I know Asus most likely wont be my laptop of choice next time aroumd.

This computer is running an ATI Radeon HD 2400 Pro. It does support dual monitors...(I've had dual monitors active on this card before, but never on Windows 7.) But since installing windows 7, I can't even get it to detect the second monitor. I want to run the setup with the CRT as the primary monitor and the HD as the secondary.

I am running a dual monitor setup with my TV hooked up via HDMI to my laptop.
Everything was working fine before, I always had the laptop as my main display yet I could play a video or a game fullscreen on the TV.
Since a couple of days, as soon as I put something in fullscreen, it immediately goes on my laptop, regardless if it's open on my TV or my laptop. I don't remember changing/installing anything that could've changed that...
I checked a bit in the AMD vision software and the Windows control pannel but I can't seem to solve my problem without switching my TV as the main display. I also made a quick search on google as well as here but the problems were mainly with Flash, which isn't in cause here.
Here are my system specs:
Toshiba Satellite L75D
Windows 7 home premium 64-bit
AMD Radeon 6520G

I have just did a clean install of Windows 7 ultimate from XP and I am unable to get my dual monitors to work like they did in XP.
I have a DVI Radeon graphics card plugged into the agp slot, and a Nvidia geforce vga adapter plugged into a pci slot of my dell optiplex 755. When I am in the screen resolution settings the second monitor cannot be detected.
In bios I have 2 options under primary video adapter and they are auto, and onboard card. When set to auto the Nvidia card gets a signal but the Radeon does not. There are no conflicts in the device manager, and all of the drivers are up to date.
When I change the bios option to onboard card the Radeon adapter gets a signal but the other monitor cannot be detected and in device manager there is a yellow exclamation mark next to Standard VGA adapter and a code 10 error that states the device could not be started.
I have powered down, and unplugged every cable, I also tried to use the integrated VGA adapter to the Intel G31/G33/Q33/Q35 Graphics Controller but the computer will not even boot. I get
"System Halted
Attention Unsupported Video Configuration Detected"
I have two monitors, both work fine as standalone but Windows will not detect either as a secondary.
Please help me someone, I am so used to having my helpdesk email open in one monitor and all of my other work in the other monitor.

I recently had an older HP Pavilion Media Center m7760n Desktop PC rebuilt. The old power supply fried the motherboard so I need to get a new power supply and motherboard. Here are my current specs.
Mainboard : Asus P5QPL-VM EPU
Chipset : Intel G41
Processor : Intel Core 2 Duo E6420 @ 2133 MHz
Physical Memory : 2048 MB (2 x 1024 DDR2-SDRAM )
Video Card : Intel(R) G41 Express Chipset (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM 1.1)
Hard Disk : WDC (1000 GB)
[code]....
As you can see from above, the "video card" is actually integrated into the motherboard.The computer works perfectly except for one major problem. I have 2 monitors, one is 22" with 1680 x 1050 resolution and the other is a 15" monitor with 1024 x 768 resolution. At the back of my computer I have a VGA port and a DVI port. The 15" is connected to the VGA port and the 22" is connected to the DVI port.When first starting the computer, the 15" monitor was recognized as the primary monitor while the 22" was recognized as the secondary monitor. No problem. I simply went to the display settings and set the 22" to be the primary monitor and the 15" to be the secondary monitor. Unfortunately, this setting seems to reset as soon as I reboot the computer. The 15" is always set as the primary monitor on start up, forcing me to set the proper settings all over again. What's worse is that even after I have set the proper settings, they sometimes revert back when using Media Center or other programs. Worse yet, sometimes the monitors both go completely black ... as if the monitor settings were about to switch but got locked up some how.I'm assuming that perhaps the on board video has a primary port (VGA) and a secondary port (DVI) but even still, shouldn't Windows 7 be able to over-ride this and save these settings so that the monitor settings remain the same during startup and regular usage?

I'm using a television (32p) as a second monitor in extended mode so that I can watch a movie in the TV and play a game in the monitor (this was my main goal). Monitor and TV lays in two different ambients, both connected to the same pc, one by normal VGA cable and the other by HDMI. I managed to differentiate the audio output so that VLC player sends it's audio to the HDMI (so that only the TV plays it) and the rest of system sounds, media players and games outputs to the speakers (basically only the VLC audio is directed to another output device). I reached my goal so that I can watch a movie fullscreen in the TV and play a game in the monitor fullscreen too without any interference from one another (nor audio or video).
The thing is, because I have the TV in another ambient I can't actually see what's going on in it, as I just "throw" the VLC window to the TV from my main monitor. And here's the question: There's a way to see the TV's desktop in my monitor? Without having to set it as main monitor so to not really switch between desktops.. The perfect thing would be if I could see the TV's desktop in a window like in remote desktops applications.
