blocked on 14-bit screen resolution

I can't change the quality of the colors above the lowest setting (4 bits), the cursor does not move so I can not change to 640 x 480, that's all that has yet registered it worked fine before you reinstall xp

If you have reinstalled your XP, it seems that you also reinstall your video drivers since the video drivers that come with XP are probably not what you need for your system of unspecified brand and model.

The best place to get the latest video drivers you need is on the manufacturers WEB site, the place for second best from your system manufacturer's WEB site.

You may also need to update your audio drivers and network, but if there is no problem with that, you can agree with what you have.

If you are unsure of what you need video drivers, follow these steps:

    True color is actually 24-bit.  32-bit is True Color + Alpha channel.

  • Portege R700 - cannot adjust the 1366 X 768 screen resolution

    My screen does not have the entire screen - he ends up on about 2cm on the right side.

    The problem is that I can't adjust the 1366 X 768 screen resolution. Highest on the list of options is 1200 X 800. I downloaded the current driver - but it does not help. I used system restore a few times and it is sometimes useful, but not always - IE, it defines the resolution of 1366 X 768, and all goes well.

    It makes me crazy!
    It's a R700, windows 7, 64 bit.

    Are you using the original Toshiba recovery image? I mean the original pre-installed OS that you got with your laptop?

    I mean the original image is designed for certain model of laptop, so I can't imagine that this problem occurs with the Toshiba drivers.

  • Portege 7220 screen resolution problem

    I recently bought a laptop portege 7220 and windows me was installed until I can get more ram added for win xp. The problem I have is that the screen resolution is set at 16 bit color and it is stuck in resolution 800 x 600. I can't go to 1024 x 768 pixels. So instead of having a display full screen, everything is displayed in a small box on the screen. I have tried to install the drivers from the toshiba site and even have local pc tech shop trying to fix it, but to no avail. Does anyone know how I can sort this problem because it's a great laptop and I want just full screen to work. Thanks for reading and any advice/info on the left.

    Hi, this must be a driver issue; your 7220 native resolution is 1024 x 768, that's why 800 x 600 is displayed in a window

    I suggest that you switch to Windows 2000, it works perfectly on a 7220 and has the lower memory requirements than XP
    In W2k there is most appropriate drivers available and with the drivers from the toshiba site, your problem should be solved

    BTW: Make sure that your BIOS settings are good (especially the "extended-mode display"), you should consider updating your BIOS to the latest version

  • XP update demolishes my Qosmio G10-133 screen resolution

    I'm running a two years old G10-133. Great and reliable machine. The reason why I bought it was because he has big screen resolution/sharpness for MS Word and Outlook emails texts.
    For various reasons that I do not download the MS Windows updates that are often available in a pop-up at the start (hint that they may bring more problems than they solve). In any case I have recently (despite running Norton Security all the time) picked up some kind of malware villain in Google which diverts approximately 50% of the links google after a search and then sends to an another search engine with links.

    The Norton firewall and windows not picking up these or clean them up, so I tried the free Spybot to get rid of them to no effect.

    Finally rang Toshiba Europe support and the guy he recommended that:

    (1) do not use Norton. Waste of time and money and slows down the machine. Download the new freeware Windows Defender instead.
    (2) do all the XP updates
    So I started with all the windows updates (charges), including Internet Explorer 7.

    Guess what, after restart the computer is a bit slow grumpy, but worse still, the screen resolution (sharpness and clarity of the text) has deteriorated in Word, Outlook and Explorer.

    So I called Toshiba support again (I'm on a contract of three years warranty) and they could not solve the problem or propose something and seemed surprised that happened. We checked the things of common screen resolution in control without result panels.

    Then I gave up, train of the restoration of the system before any updates.

    The computer is now stable and the resolution of screen back to where it was.

    Issues related to the:
    (1) can I get XP and 7 EXP updates and still get my old (better) screen resolution.
    (2) what to give up idea good/safe Norton for Windows Defender?
    (3) any ideas on how to prevent the diversion of Google links?

    Any help much appreciated

    Hello

    1.) it's very strange and I have never heard bad display quality after the installation of the updates from Microsoft!
    I think you should try to contact the Microsoft support and maybe they know something about this strange behavior.
    But have you tried to update the graphic driver and/or BIOS?

    (2.) it is true. I installed the Norton System Works several months ago and my unit started very slowly with preinstalled Norton Antivirus.
    I removed and use and freeware AntiVirus application called "Antivir".
    I don't want to use the MS Windows Defender. But I'm not saying that this application is bad.

    (3) I don't know what you want to do, but I don't think it has anything to do with your Toshiba laptop ;)

  • Satellite A - wrong screen resolution in games

    Hello

    I change the operating system from Windows Vista to Windows 7 64 bit home and I download the driver for Windows but when I play games, it seems 1024 * 768 pixels and my laptop has 1366 * 768 pixels.

    So anyone who has a solution to this problem please help

    Hello

    Unfortunately, I think you have to offer more details on your problem as the number of exact model laptop and all the games that you play.

    Important point is that the game must support the native screen resolution of your screen, otherwise, you are not able to use 1366 * 768 pixels. You should check this first!

    Also make sure that this new Toshiba display driver is installed and update your DirectX version.

  • Satellite A500: Can not change screen resolution

    I have an A500 - 15 M with a 16 "display, which is more than a year.
    He worked always very happy with a resolution of 1366 * 768, which is the size of the screen (a little unusual).

    No reason apparent, this morning, it starts with a screen resolution of 1280 * 800 and does not anyway to get back to its normal resolution.
    The result is a screen that is not full width of the screen, but which covers the bottom.

    Vista option display settings will not allow anything beyond the amount of 1280 * 800 and no fiddling with the graphics settings (Intel) will fix the problem.
    OS is Vista32 but the problem is still there after a relocation in 64-bit mode.

    I have this terrible feeling that I did something really stupid, but I am at a loss now - any suggestions or help would be very appreciated

    Hello

    You have an Intel graphics card?
    I think that first you need to update the graphics driver.
    To be honest, I never had no problem changing the screen resolution, but I would like to reinstall the driver first.

    I think you could try the latest driver for graphics card in the Intel page.
    These drivers should be up to date so try it out and then try to change the resolution again.

  • Alignment of thread with different screen resolutions

    I noticed that block diagram wire positions/alignments can change, sometimes significantly, by switching to screens with different resolutions.  There is a ton of information on the maintenance of the proportions on the front panel as the solution of problems, but I can't find how to mitigate the problem with the wires on the block diagram.  Does anyone know how to best handle this?

    Thank you!

    I never noticed the block schema change due to screen resolutions.  I saw this kinds of problems during the change of system fonts.  For example, switching from XP to Win7 meant go to police Aero, which is a font more great than XP used to its default system font.

    That's what I noticed as well.

    The solution is to set the blockdiagram fonts in the LabVIEW.ini be specific font rather than a system font.

    Something like

    BDFont = "Tahoma" 13
