Always insensitive display settings?

Well, my computer resets to a lower screen resolution, but when I go to my display settings to change, the window does not respond, and the blue loading circle appears everywhere where I put my pointer. I had this same problem in December, but I tried one of the recommended steps in my thread of the previous question, and it worked. This time, however, it does not.

I tried the SFC scan checkdisk and system restore, who did restore to an earlier point in time, but unfortunately, the new resolution has always remained the same. I even tried to change the resolution through the registry editor and enter a new DPI, but that has not changed anything either. I use Windows Vista with HP Compaq Presario CO60. If it is possible to set the display settings and make sensitive again would be great, but if not, is there another way to change the resolution of the screen? Thank you!

Your user profile may be corrupted.  To fix this usehttp://windows.microsoft.com/en-AU/windows-vista/Fix-a-corrupted-user-profile.  You can't just transfer everything via - you must make sure that you get all the files and folders that you need and there are several files that cannot be copied (the article explains this).  But if the other account works, then this is the solution.  I would like to make another account administrator or two just in case something happens to this news.  Also, I would delete the obsolete account once that everything that needs to be moved was moved.  It is generally recommended to use a standard account for your daily work and the account administrator only when needed (for reasons of security - a hack of an account administrator is MUCH more dangerous that a hack of a standard user account).

Bravo to come with this option!  Now all we need to do is implement as described above and you should be good to go.

I hope this helps.

Good luck!

    Hi shamorau,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

    (1) do you have because of recent changes, after which the problem occurred?

    The first thing I would say is to update or rather uninstall and reinstall display drivers and who might have to deal with the issue.

    Also I suggest you try to use another monitor to see if it is not a problem with the monitor.

    Let us know if the problem persists after the driver updates.

  • Satellite A200: nVidia 7300 Go does not save the display settings

    I'm using the latest drivers available, but I can not even save display settings in nvidia
    Control Panel. For example if I turn down the brightness and increase digital vibrance and apply
    These settings, the next time that I reboot or run and release a game settings ALWAYS comes back to the
    their default values.

    I can't use a monitor external because the default brightness settings
    are very painful! They are literally blinding! Color settings do not record of either.

    Support for the New Zealands tech told me that it is a feature of Vista. What's supposed to be a joke?

    I also get bad interference on the screen lines when using an external monitor. It's very bad.

  • Vista don't forget display settings; move the second monitor from top right.

    Windows Vista is often (not always) forgotten my display settings for my external monitor.

    I have a Dell XPS M1530 laptop with a NVIDIA GeForce 8600 M GT graphics card.  The laptop is running Vista Home Premium SP2 with all updates applied.  I have a Samsung LCD monitor mounted on the wall above the laptop screen that I use as a second monitor (driven by the output of the laptop).

    I updated the display settings so that my second screen is located above my main monitor. My problem is that Vista often forget this parameter after the standby or hibernation, and returns the value by default display settings of 'second monitor is to the right of the primary monitor'.  This means that I often walk in the display settings to do the right thing (pardon the pun).

    I've seen other messages to try to use 'View to connect' in the settings of Windows Mobile (win - X).  However this option only supports a second monitor is located on the left or the right of the main screen - not on it.

    Any suggestions before I have eventually give up and drill several holes in the wall to mount the external monitor to the right of the screen of my laptop?

    Thank you.

    In my case out of sleep the primary monitor (laptop) is off (still asleep) while the second monitor is on but the resolution is that the screen of the laptop and he took the position of the main monitor. I push the "fn" + 'f4' key to switch between monitors, laptop monitor turns on but the secondary display stands. Another pressure on the keys cause the laptop monitor to be shared and the secondary monitor is now on, that's what toggle keys do. On the third time that the keys have pushed the two monitors came the resolutions they were Setup.

    Try using the ToggleKeys. On some laptops the 'f' key to toggle is "" f5"key. My 'f4' key has the image of two monitors.

    I hope I could help

He has done this before, so I know how do to solve this problem, but when I went to view the settings to change the resolution of the window upward but my pointer turned to the insensitive loading blue circle and if I tried to click on what whether the program immediately become unresponsive. I checked and it was the same for any customization option that opened this area full settings, including the theme and screen saver.

But I have not had to use my display settings since then, so I thought nothing of it.

    In any case, help would be appreciated, because I really look forward to working with a resolution of 800 x 600. Thank you very much! :)

  • Satellite Pro L300: How to change the display settings

    Hi I have a toshiba satellite pro l300 run a pentium dual core and intel 965 display chip any games I play on my laptop, they open in a small box and not full screen I've had a quick glance at the settings to try to resolve this with no luck.

    Can someone tell me if there is a way to change the settings to get the games to play in full screen, my current display settings are 1280 x 800 pixels and running at 32-bit color.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    You should set this option to full screen in the games you play. Checked for these options, because you are given something like graphics, solution details and in most cases should be windowed.

    One thing you might try is to uninstall your current display drivers, and then reinstall new ones. Make sure that you use tools like ccleaner cleaning record or similar.
    Check if you have installed all the latest updates of windows and directx version, if you are using Windows XP.

    Hello

    I m not exactly on this fault, but it seems there must be something wrong with the graphics driver and display settings.
    That's why I recommend you first remove the old driver and after restarting again try to install the graphics driver from the Toshiba driver page.

    I think you are using the Win98. Am I wrong?
    Then visit Toshiba, download the Trident display driver and install it!

  • my display settings keep returning on 2 screens at startup to the top

    I have attached a second monitor to my Sony laptop.  The 2d display monitor used to iterate through a docking station Kensington DisplayLink.  For some reason, the docking station picks up is no longer display for the #2--si monitor I recently started to connect the monitor directly #2 on my laptop.  Now every time I disconnect the monitor #2 to try to use the laptop with the Moose #1 display attached - after startup, it comes in white.  I discovered the Dungeon of display settings back to the #2 monitor, as the main display with the office displays only on the monitor #2 - it's why my laptop screen is blank - unless I'm reconnect the 2d display whenever I start.  But it is not practical and the net effect is that until this has been resolved I can't use my laptop away from my office.  I keep resettingt the display settings in the control panel to a single monitor, but it keeps going back to 2.  What is the solution?

    Hi, Msnsurf101,

    Check your settings in the Bios

    Procedures vary depending on the manufacturer of the BIOS. Usually, you must press a key (for example, F2, F12, DEL, ESC) or a key combination whenever you turn on your computer but before Windows starts. For more information, see the documentation provided with your computer or go to the website of the manufacturer of the computer.

    Warning

    Be careful when you change the BIOS settings. The BIOS interface is designed for advanced users, and it is possible to change a setting that can prevent your computer from starting properly.

    Thank you for visiting the Forums HP's Support and welcome. I read your thread on your Windows 7 and display rotated 270 degrees. Here is a solution from a third party site. Turn on your computer and wait for the Windows platform to load.
    Right-click on the desktop with icons part less. On the shortcut menu that appears, click on "Properties". Another pop-up window containing various tabs will appear on your screen. Select the 'Settings' tab, and then locate the button marked "Advanced." Go to "Intel Graphics Media Accelerator Driver" and then proceed to "graphics properties." Select 'rotation' and choose 'enable rotation '. Click on 'apply' first and then click on 'OK '.
    This will bring you to the desktop. Hold down the ALT key (usually positioned to the right or to the left of the space bar and Ctrl key (found under the shift keys) and press the right arrow key.) This will flip your screen to the right by 90 degrees.
    Hold the Alt key, the CTRL key, then press the down arrow key to turn the display upside down from 180 degrees.
    Hold down ALT, CTRL key, and then press the left arrow key to move the screen to the left of 270 degrees.

    I hope this helps.
