I have bought an LG Flatron L192WS monitor (widescreen) for my 4 year old computer which has an NVIDIA Get Force 4 MX Integrated GPU.
I find that photographs are compressed vertically in the display. Is the problem with the video card? The maximum resolution I can get with the present vard is only 1280x1024. Even at that resolution the problem persists. The driver of the card is version 4.1.1.3 dated 12-07-2002.
I have an XP workstation that runs a DOS application that is started up using a PIF file. The DOS app runs fine but does not display a full screen vertically. Horizontially, it displays a full screen since I checked the Full Screen mode in the PIF file parameters. I want to have the entire screen taken up by the display of the DOS program. Two other PCs (one a WIN98 PC and the other a WIN2K PC) display in a complete screen.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI registered myself as a 'beginner' and now I'm thinking 'illiterate' would have been more accurate. If I can fix this, I will be sooo excited.I don't know how I made the change, but all of a sudden everything on my screen was magnified ginormously. I figured out how to change the resolution, but then ended up getting everthing small and vertically tall. When I go into settings to try to put it back the window is so tall I cannot get down to click on the "apply" button. How do I make the changes now that I can't get to the apply button?

View 10 Replies View RelatedI reloaded Windows XP on a Compaq Presario. This was a standard, non-destructive recovery. After re booting, I received the error message NTLDR is compressed Press C tl+Alt+Del.. The fix is to go to a command line and enter attrib -c ntldr . When I do this I get the message that -c is an invalid switch. In looking through other material I do not see where c is a switch for the attrib command, but I can see where it could be used to "turn off compression" in ntldr. What am I missing here.Last year I did something similar, not this specifically, and it worked for a compressed disk problem.
View 9 Replies View RelatedOn my profile I entered under experience, "Sometimes smart, Sometimes dumb". This is a "sometimes dumb" question. Exactly what is the purpose of a compressed or zip file? I use a geneology program that automatically compresses data when you save a file so that a large amount of data can be stored on a floppy disk.
I recently sent some information to an individual via email and that person requested that I use snail mail instead because it took forever to download on their dial up connection. Using "properties" I look at the size of the file at it was 2.25 MB. I thought perhaps compressing the data would not take it so long to download so I placed it in a Windows XP Compressed folder and then looked at the size of that folder and it was 2.19 MB. Not much of a reduction and would probably take just as long for that person to download. Am I doing something wrong?
I guess I don't understand the zip files..I have Home XP and I can extract to the zip folder but I can never open anything.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI am running Windows XP, Home Edition, to which is connected a 250MB external ZIP drive. My previous system used Windows 98, and, in a moment of madness, I compressed one of the ZIP drive disks. I realize that I need to remount the disk, using the Windows "Drivespace three" program. The only problem is that I don't have the program, and, to my knowledge, it does not exist in or for Windows XP. Is there any way I can obtain a copy of the Drivespace Three program, and, if so, will it run under Windows XP? If not, what version of Windows 95 or 98 has the program? I have access to an older system, belonging to a friend, and might possibly be able to use it to solve the problem.

I tried doing this with a large adobe acrobat file, and with a jpeg file, and although it SHOWED a new zip file, when I checked the size of the files, both of them were only five kb smaller than before. That's not much, I'm thinking, lol. What I did, was to right-click on the file and chose "send to" and then chose "compressed (zipped) file."

I have recently upgraded to Windows XP Professional, but I have several old zip disks that were compressed using Drivespace under Windows 98SE. Is there any way I can access these disks to get the stuff off them using XP? When I try accessing the drive I just get a file displayed called READTHIS.TXT which says the following:- "This disk was compressed using Windows 98 DriveSpace. To use this disk, you must first mount it. To mount it:
1. Run DriveSpace in Windows.
2. In the Drives list, click the drive that contains the disk, and then click Mount on the Advanced menu.
To automatically mount all compressed devices, use the Settings command on the Advanced menu. (If this file is located on a drive other than the drive that contains the compressed disk, then the disk is already ounted)." I do not have access to a computer with Windows 98 on it at this time.
Windows XP Search can get slow if you have a lot of compressed files on your hard drive. Speed up your searches by disabling this. Open the Run command and type the following:
regsvr32 c:winnt\system32zipfldr.dll /u or
regsvr32 c:windows\system32zipfldr.dll /u if installed in the windows directory
To turn this feature back on:
regsvr32 c:winnt\system32zipfldr.dll or
regsvr32 c:windows\system32zipfldr.dll if installed in the windows directory
In windows 2000 I am trying to compress a folder. I did this by creating a file and I put some fake files in it and then right clicked the folder, selected tools, folder options, view and selected display compressed files and folders with alternet color. From what I was told the file names and folder name would turn blue. In my case just the file names turned blue. Why didn't the folder name turn blue as well?

View 4 Replies View RelatedThe Kim Kommando web site and Windows XP help both indicate that you can create a "compressed folder" by opening the "C" Drive and then clicking File, New Folder and then selecting "compressed folder". When I do this however, the only option is WinZip which allows you to creat a WinZip file which is an evaluation version. Is a WinZip file comparable to a compressed folder? When would I want to Zip or compress a file?

Never had any problems until today: When I click on the zipped folder I get the following message: this page has an unspecified potential security risk. Would you like to continue? Of course I click yes and it will open without any problems at all. I also scanned with MacAfee anti virus and it is ok. If I move the all folder with copy/paste to drive D and the problem its gone.
Do you have any ideas?? Maybe happen to you too Yesterday I did tried to move the all DOCUMENTS (from the desktop) to drive D by using the Microsoft facility: right click on the folder-movebut at the end only My Pictures and My Music went on drive D and when I looked on the documents on C was nothing there. At this point I sent everything back (always with Microsoft facility) to the original location and since then I encountered the mentioned problem but all documents are back. And I was told this is so easy to do.
I have problems if I try and run the display settings above 800x600. I was wondering if this would be fixed if I upgrade the firmware settings and if so where would I get these upgrades?

View 6 Replies View RelatedWhile playing a game I hit some buttons on accident and the display shrunk. Now the monsters are small, and so is everything else outside of the game I have no idea what I did, I checked the Screen Resolution and it seems fine, and I also checked my monitor settings, which is fine.
The monitor started showing graphic distortion. I ordered a new monitor but had the same distortion on it. I updated the ATI drivers but it did not solve the problem. In trying to trouble shoot the problem following directions on the ATI website, I changed all the graphic settings to the lowest and slowest available. This got rid of the distortion but the settings need to go! Now I cannot open the display settings.
