After you have reinstalled Windows XP, the video settings are not correct

Original title: parameters viedo

I had to reformat and reinstall XP.  Everything works except for things like graphics, cards and other games and some pictures.  They are very wide and short.   I guess it's something in the video settings defined in landscape mode, but I can't find where.   Can anyone help.

Thank you

You probably just set your screen resolution to match your monitor.
Right-click on an empty area of your desktop and select 'Properties', then click on the 'Settings' tab at the top.
At the bottom left there is a box of "Screen Resolution."  Drag the marker to change the screen resolution to a setting that matches your monitor...  You determine this by the ratio of the width to the height.  Some common resolutions to the dimensions of the screen are the following:

4:3 = 800 x 600, 1024 x 768, 1280 x 960, 1600 x 1200
5:4 = 1200 x 1024
8:5 = 1440 x 900, 1680 x 1050
16:9 = 1280 x 720, 1776 x 1000, 1920 x 1080 (widescreen)

After you change this setting and click on 'OK', the screen will become to this resolution.  It will give you a few seconds to confirm that the monitor can display this resolution. If you see the screen, click on 'OK '.  If your screen is empty, don't panic but just wait 30 seconds approximately and your screen will return.

    Most likely your drivers for the cd rom does not have go into Control Panel/System Device Manager and security for all marked devices other devices that may not have installed the drivers.

Ishut down and rebooted but nothing works. I reinstalled windows xp butnow I have not any showwing audio device connected. the motherboard is foxcom

    You has not LOST the device if you have installed new XP Windows.  You simply do not have the device for device drivers, Windows XP can actually communicate with the device.

    You will need to download and install all THE drivers for hardware devices.  Motherboard chipset, audio, video, networks, printers, scanners, cameras and so forth.

    "Foxcom" tells us nothing and is only part of the story.  In order to get the drivers, you will need to know each device you have (or at least the make and model of the motherboard or computer as a whole.)

  • I have no sound on the computer after you have reinstalled Windows.

    Hello

    I just reinstalled Windows 7 on my PC and I was a little proud of myself, have internet, email, video works... but then no sound. :(

    So the most common answer seems to be getting the correct driver.

    I have a motherboard ASUS P7-P55-M, I went to the ASUS website and got the best audio driver for this mobo, which is: VIA_Audio_V6019500_XPVistaWin7.

    I therefore installed that, and then one encouraging thing is that DURING the installation of this audio driver, my speakers made a sound that made me think that they are the least recognized, or this audio driver is at least to see them there?

    But then after the reboot, I still have no sound.

    So I tried to look at the specs for this mobo, and saw the audio chip itself is VIA VT1708S. So I followed the links and found a driver for it, but after I installed that now, it seems that it is just a version still newer same driver (the preceding being 9500, 10200 or this is what it looks like.)

    in any case, this newer version and the one outside the site of ASUS, as well as older drivers, I think, just install a version or one that other: HD VDeck.

    Common responses include at this time something about the Realtek drivers (can't see how tho so it shall not apply, or using those on drivers THROUGH), or Windows Troubleshooter, or something in the playback functions, or an old or Windows driver conflict with these new?), but I have tried these things (or I thought I did lol).

    But I still have no sound on my speakers.

    Very frustrating because it feels like I'm 98% done my re - install, and it looks like its just some simple setting somewhere in Windows or this HD VDeck that will get things working.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated! :)

    Original title: speakers work not after fresh windows 7 installed, please help!

    Hello

    Thank you very much for your answers. :)

    I formatted completely, no folder Windows.old and also no printed dxdiag, I myself for the kicks, which I'll make sure to have next time lol.

    Device Manager is fine, I went over that and basically each sound option of Windows or menu, that I could find, which made me think the problem somewhere else.

    So I took the suggestion of Nirmal and used automatically diagnose it and fix the link he provided. Suggestions of the convenience store has really helped as much as he said everything has been updated, or was not a problem, but what I noticed, it was what a screen in the Microsoft Fixit program running:

    Resolution of Windows Audio playback problems

    Which of these devices you want to troubleshoot?

    Select the device that you are having problems with. If the device is not listed, select device are not.

    Speakers - VIA High Definition Audio (the connector for this device is located on the front of the computer).

    Interface SPDIF (TX0) VIA High Definition Audio (the connector for this device is located on the open or pull-open sliding panel at the back of the computer).

    Output HDMI AMD - AMD high definition Audio Device (Connector for this unit is located in the HDMI connector).

    Unlisted device.

    Now when I continued from here, I don't have all the answers useful, but it makes me start thinking about the plugs/connectors themselves, rather than the drivers or anything else.

    So, I've discovered that my audio interface (HD VDeck) installed with the audio drivers of my motherboard, has no options is disable the jacks on the front panel, or the possibility of re - configure jacks how you want. If you want your speaker system to get out the same plug as it was before, you MUST be able to reconfigure your catch. Otherwise, making default value for your speakers, according to the drivers from the manufacturer of your, is actually not the green plug, I used, but among the other instead. This other outlets, or maybe even just the front headphone or microphone jack will work instead.

    So to summarize:

    If you did a clean install of Windows 7 (or a similar version), and that you have installed the drivers of your sound and re-configured your settings Windows Sound (speakers as value by default, etc.), then you did everything up to this point correctly. At this point, you MUST have an audio program like Realtek, which allows you to reconfigure or disable the catch. Otherwise, your speakers, by default, is no longer just the audio jack green we are accustomed to, but rather another "back". You MUST use the other rear socket (most likely the speaker FRONT plug), or one of your jacks façade, in plugging your speakers instead.

    This may sound funny, but this workaround works, unless you get an audio program to reassign the normal green audio jack.

    I looked at hundreds of messages on the last few days trying to get this resolved. I wish I could go back and share this info with all these people now lol.

    Thanks for the info, and please share with all those who have problems with Windows reinstall and sound.

    Kind regards

  • Unable to connect to the internet after you have reinstalled Windows

    It came with Vista on it, but it is basically screwed up... There was no recovery disk... so I did a clean install with a XP disk... all right except that I can't get on the internet... In the OTHER DEVICES ethernet controller PCI device, PCI Modem, SM Bus controller, unknown device and video controller (VGA Compatible) are all highlighted with a yellow question mark... Try to find the driver with my son's computer, but everything I find says that there in an internet search... until this problem is fixed, I can't connect to internet... Help, please! Thank you!!

    Hi Dreman1970,

    ·         What is the brand and model of the computer?

    Of yellow exclamation, PCI Modem and other devices Ethernet controller describes the drivers necessary for the device are missing.

    I suggest you use another computer connected to the internet to find your manufacturer's Web site. Then you need to find the driver to download links for your computer model. Once you have downloaded the drivers, you can transfer them to your computer and install them. Once the drivers are installed, you will be able to connect to the internet.

    See the following article for more information on installing the drivers:

  • How to get the drivers and files lost after you have reinstalled Windows XP

    Message: How to recover documents Word and Audio drivers after reinstalling Windows XP on the computer.

    Operating system: Windows XP

    Exactly how is that did you reinstall Windows.

    Your "reinstall Windows" had formatting of the disk (i.e., a "clean install") or restore the computer to its state of "cost-of-the-factory '?  If so, your documents and other files are essentially disappeared (possibly recoverable at great expense by using a Drive Savers).

    If you don't reformat or use a "recovery partition" (that is, you did a "repair" install), then it is possible that your data may be recoverable.  More you continue to use the computer, however, over the likelihood that the data is unrecoverable.
