View 3 Replies View RelatedI recently re-installed Windows XP on my Acer Aspire 5920 laptop. My only problem with it is that I can't set my screen resolution to the actual resolution of my screen (1280x800) since the only two options are 800x600 or 1024x768.The nVidia driver I got on the acer website wont install, saying:The NVIDIA Setup program could not locate any drivers that are compatible with your current hardware. Setup will now exit.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI've changed the screen resolution from 800+ to 10000+ range and back to 800 several times. This so that a program I am using will fit the screen (10000) and back so icons and print on desktop are bigger. Now I can no longer get dsplay to open and can't do anything with the display. I'm using Windows XP
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have just installed WXP PRO on a new (bigger) HDD in my Compaq D51SP225 computer but the screen resulution cannot be increased in control panel -- display.
I think I need a video driver but cannot install the internet connection because of thw resolution problem. All is well with this HDD. Can I download a suitable driver from the web to a CD or transfer this driver to a CD?
I had to replace my HD and Video card a couple of months ago. I got the new video card from Dell, it is the same card that my system came with, GeForce 7800 GO. Since replacing these two items, I cannot achieve my original screen resolution of 1920 X 1200(WUXGA), all I can get is 1400 X 900(WXGA). Yes, I am sure it is WUXGA, as shown by dell configurator : CF176 LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY..., 17, Wide Ultra Extended Graphics Array..., VIDEO ELEC. STDS. ASSOC...., GLARE WIDE VIEWING ANGLE..., SAMSUNG...
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a Compaq EVO D51S SFF which I had plugged to my LCD TV as a media centre, just to watch movies and all. I had not connected this computer to the internet because I did not have a wireless card.I finally installed a wireless card, and then windows started doing all sorts of updates as expected (since the version on the SFF was SP2).Once windows was done with the updates, I started having problems with the screen resolution.
The SFF does not have a stand alone video card, so I had set the resolution at 1024 x 768, and this worked just fine before the updates.Now, the resolution keeps changing and this is a problem because the LCD TV gives me a message saying "Resolution Not Supported", so I can't use the computer unless I connect it to a regular computer monitor, select 1024x768, and then connect to the TV. I connect via VGA port, not DVI (don't have DVI).
i messed around with it for a while changing zoom, stretch, dot to dot ect .Finnaly i got the tv's view mode to normal no stretch and filled all 32" perfectly with my desktop and the resolution was something like 2040x1200 or 1920x1080 not sure exactly..i should have wrote that down but close to that..
View 1 Replies View Relatedi just installed a new copy of windows xp pro. the screen resolution before the fresh istall was fine. i had all the options. i like my windows small. and now the only resolution i can get on is 1280x1024.. how can i fix this? do i need drivers?
View 9 Replies View RelatedThe video card on this computer would just cut out from time to time, and i'd to have re-set the cable for it to work. i figured theres a loose connection, so i got another video card to replace it with, since this is a work computer.So after installing the new (actually its a used video card, ASUS v7700 TIvx, but still definitely works) video card, the computer starts up at the correct resolution, 800x600. It looks fine, but when you drag anything or scroll on a web page, the video lags. So i found the correct drivers and installed them, and rebooted.
The computer reboots in 640x480 at 4-bit color quality. when i change the resolution to 800x600 at 32-bit color quality, it just defaults back to 640x480 at 4-bit. i found that i can change the resolution to 800x600 at 4-bit, but when i try 16-bit or 32-bit quality, it just go right back to 640x480 at 4-bit.i thought maybe it was the video card, and tried to install the old one again (its a geforce 2 mx card). so i re-install it and install the correct drivers, and still the same exact thing happens, (prior to any of this, the geforce 2 mx card worked fine at 800x600 at 32-bit) i can't get it to correctly change to 800x600 at 32bit, it just keeps defaulting back to 640x480 at 4-bit.

View 7 Replies View RelatedThis is confusing the heck out of me. on my screen is a black line approximately a pixel thick that runs horizontally over everything. When I change my screen resolution (changing it from 1280x1024 to 1152x864 and back again) it disappears.
It shows back up roughly about once week in differnt places (closer to bottom, closer to top, smack dab in the middle, etc.) This has been happening for months. Doesn't affect my work all that much. I am just a little curious as to what causes it.
I just reformatted my computer a Dell, Inspiron 8100, Windows XP home edition. Screen resolution default is 1600X1200 Pixels. I like 1024X768. When I change the resolution to 1024X768 or any other setting available the screen just gets smaller. There is no change in "Screen Resolution.
I have installed all the updates and SP2. Auto-updates seems to be doing fine. I downloaded new NiNida drivers from Dell, etc. I've removed and reinstalled the video drivers several times.
compaq presario 5000, 5BW130, new seagate hardrive, new install of windows xp sp2.My problem is I want to change the screen resolution, in display properties it won't let me move the slider it's set for 800 by 600 pixels, can't move it any further, color quality is: High 24 (bit) or medium (16 bit)that's it I want to make thing smaller what do I have to do, and what do I need??
View 2 Replies View RelatedRecently reinstalled Windows XP SP2 Home, due to a messed up Registry and upon reinstalling my screen resolution became 640 x 480 px, and whenever I try to change it, my computer won't let me. According to Microsoft.com, I have to install the driver for my monitor. I can easilly re-download the driver from the Dell website, but for some reason my computer won't let me go to Monitor settings. In order to install the monitor's driver I need to access this. Below is an image of the Advanced Display settings window when I open it. Note how the Monitor Properties is unclickable.

Instead of filling the whole displayr I end up with a Window in the centre of the display that gets smaller as I change the screen resolution to less. I am using an IBM Thinkpat A22p and this problem occured just after I attached an external LCD Monitor.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm really bombed out when I have to scroll left to right on any web page. I love CNet forums, but it is a constant matter of that irritating scrolling that may make me stop using it. Yeah, I've tried adjusting my screen resolution, but then the type is so small it becomes a chore to read it. And, other websites designed to use my screen resolution look ridiculous in the browser. I don't care what "statistics" say about screen resolution,the vast majority of web sites are constructed to fit 800x600 res. Either that, or the web masters are smart enough to code them to fit various resolutions.

I know one downside of increasing resolution is I'll need to change sizes of fonts and icons etc. Will higher setting slow down the computer. Do you think higher setting will be preferable since I do a lot of digital photograpy work?

View 1 Replies View RelatedMy PC is a Dell Dimension 4600, using Windows XP Home Edition. I had problems getting online, Comcast Tech came out to help, no help from them, found out myself that somewhere I had lost a driver, reinstalled, back on line, but with problems. I cannot seem to get the screen resolutions to look like I want it to. The following is what I have and it looks great, but does not fill screen and letters so small. DISPLAY PROPERTIES: Themes-Windows Classic Modified. APPEARANCE: Windows classic Style. COLOR SCHEME: Same as above.
FONT: Normal. When I click on Screen Resolution Tab it shows the following: 1280 by 1024 Pixels, Color Highest 32 bit. As I stated above, it really is so clear, (letters, etc), but does not fill screen. Also, when Tech was here he installed WindowsXP again, so now I have two of the same and the fact that they take up so much space, I had bought "The Print Shop" before all this happened and now I cannot not install.
I have a friend who has a pentium 2 350 which is currently running on Windows 98SE...yikes!My friend has been complaining that their computer has been running slow and that pop ups are appearing everywhere.
